esp32/modsocket: Try garbage collection if the socket limit is reached.

If the hard socket limit (default 16) is reached then it's possible that
socket allocation fails but garbage collection would allow it to succeed.

Perform a GC pass and try again before giving up, similar to the logic
elsewhere in MicroPython that tries a GC pass before raising MemoryError.

This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors.
