TypeError raised in latest Socksify when initializing Dalli client with version 3.2.7+

[Capncavedan]

Dalli 3.2.7 and 3.2.8 cause a TypeError in Socksify. 3.2.6 works OK.

Ruby version 3.0.6.

Reproduction script, passes with socksify 1.7.1 and dalli 3.2.6 installed, fails with dalli from 3.2.7.

require 'dalli'
dc = Dalli::Client.new('localhost:11211')
dc.set('abc', 'required dalli')
puts dc.get('abc')

require 'socksify'
dc = Dalli::Client.new('localhost:11211')
dc.set('xyz', 'required socksify')
puts dc.get('xyz')

I don't like this approach, too brittle, but maybe somebody has a smarter approach to deciding "is Socksify going to cause a problem"?

Updated conditions used within this method

      def self.create_socket_with_timeout(host, port, options)
        new_takes_kwargs = true if RUBY_VERSION >= '3.0' &&
                                    !::TCPSocket.private_instance_methods.include?(:original_resolv_initialize)
        new_takes_kwargs = false if defined?(Socksify)
        if new_takes_kwargs
          sock = new(host, port, connect_timeout: options[:socket_timeout])
          yield(sock)
        else
          Timeout.timeout(options[:socket_timeout]) do
            sock = new(host, port)
            yield(sock)
          end
        end
      end

i face the same issue with: Dalli 3.2.8
Ruby version 3.1.4

I've opened #998 to add tests to check compatibility with other gems without depending on them, and #999 to adjust the approach from #989 to handle compatibility with both resolv-replace and socksify.

Chiming in to just to say we're also facing this issue and it's blocking us from upgrading to the latest Dalli version. The approach in #999 looks good to me.
