Summary

Add conventional constructors that take a cause to SocketException to avoid the need to call initCause as part of creating the exception.

Problem

The creation of many SocketExceptions involves setting the cause, but the set of constructors does not include any ones taking a cause.

Solution

Add the two missing conventional constructors that take a cause argument.
