OK, I have changed open-protocol-stream accordingly.  I have also made a
few more changes:

 - TZZ's suggestion to make the list return value (PROC . PLIST)
   for extensibility.

 - Instead of returning nil on connection errors, it returns the killed
   process, like open-network-stream.

 - Renamed `network' to the more explicit `try-starttls'.
   Renamed `network-only' to `default'.

 - Changed the default connection type to `default' (no encryption), so
   that open-protocol-stream with no arguments will be equivalent to
   open-network-stream.

I have changed the Gnus callers to accomodate these changes, including
making the connection type `try-starttls' by default.  NNTP and NNIMAP
seem to work the same as before, but let me know if anything breaks for
you.

The next step is to merge proto-steam.el into open-network-stream in the
Emacs trunk.  The present revisison of proto-stream.el (103758) can
probably be used for the stand-alone Gnus.
