Many thanks Luca.

To close the loop on this. Luca & I talked and the ZMQ_USE_FD option
solves the issue for listener (bind) sockets. Unfortunately there needs
to be a different solution for when an application wants to set an
option prior to a ZeroMQ connect (need the option to be persistent
across "reconnects"). Kicking around a few ideas.
