[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-server 3/4] red_channel: add option to monitor whether a channel client is alive

rhbz#994175

When a client connection is closed surprisingly (i.e., without a FIN
segment), we cannot identify it by a socket error (which is the only
way by which we identified disconnections so far).
This patch allows a channel client to periodically check the state of
the connection and identify surprise disconnections.
