go/neo/neonet: Fix segmentation violation in case handshake fails

Because 'err' was locally assigned inside the loop of 'DialLink' [1],
it was always 'nil' as a function return value, even when
'handshakeClient' actually returned an error. This lead to the
unfortunate situation that the function sometimes returned 'link=nil'
and 'err=nil', so that the function caller tried to access 'link'
attributes which lead to 'runtime error: invalid memory address or nil
pointer dereference'. This patch fixes this and now the function
correctly returns an error if the dialing fails.

[1] `peerConn, err := networker.Dial(ctx, addr)`
