MINOR: quic: activate socket per conn by default

Activate QUIC connection socket to achieve the best performance. The
previous behavior can be reverted by tune.quic.socket-owner
configuration option.

This change is part of quic-conn owned socket implementation.

Contrary to its siblings patches, I suggest to not backport it to 2.7.
This should ensure that stable releases behavior is perserved. If a user
faces issues with QUIC performance on 2.7, he can nonetheless change the
default configuration.
