Right now, Idle sends out PINGs every 30 seconds, but doesn't do anything if
the server doesn't answer them.

This is … not great. If the connection has died for some reason—maybe you had
both wired and wireless, Idle connected over the wire, and then you unplugged
the cable? This happens to me every single day—Idle really ought to notice and
disconnect. So here's a branch which does that. It also fixes the
force-disconnect path if you try to explicitly Disconnect() on such a
connection to not wait forever for the TCP connection to close cleanly.
