[plt-scheme] udp-connected?

I had been using embedded 209 for years, and would check the  
'connection' to the remote computer by attempting to send to it.   
After upgrading to 4.2 recently, I ended up using with-handlers (in  
Scheme source) to catch 'no route to host'; that wasn't required in my  
209 implementation.  I don't have an old enough copy of my source with  
me to see how it worked, though.  The connection? question was fishing  
for a way to do it without causing an exception at all.
