Opening a Connection to a SNAP by specifying SNAP Type

Extended Connection Preferences API can be used by applications to set the SNAP type prior to establishing a connection.

Specifying SNAP type enables the applications to start a connection to a specific SNAP (For example, Internet SNAP or Intranet SNAP) without iterating through the SNAP list to identify the appropriate type.

Connect to socket server .
```
RSocketServ ss;
ss.Connect();       
```
Open a RConnection object.
```
RConnection conn;
conn.Open( ss );
```
Create a connection preference list and extended connection preferences object.
```
TConnPrefList prefList;
TExtendedConnPref preferences;    
```

Set the SNAP type using TExtendedConnPref::SetSnapPurpose().

preferences.SetSnapPurpose( CMManager::ESnapPurposeInternet );

Append the extended connection preferences into connection preference list.
```
prefList.AppendL( &preferences );
```
Start a connection with connection preferences.
```
conn.Start( prefList );
```

The application is connected to Internet SNAP.
