add function to send commands by rcon #350

It would be great apart from receiving information from the server that you can also send commands for example status or kick etc.

Well, that's just an rcon client then. It would be true that we could benefit in having rcon comunication for getting specific data/extra data (in case with Rust where it has a streamsniping system and on the normal query they change the players names around), ~but I don't really think that embeding a rcon client in the library would be something fit to be here, as there are already a multitude of rcon clients~ (edited: I was wrong).

What are they, the ones that exist are specific games and this library is multiple, that's why I said add the rcon

Hmm, on a second thought you might be right, there is rcon that implements rcon for Source, GoldSrc, Minecraft and CoD, there is also quake3-rcon which implements rcon for Quake 3 (which I think protocol-wise is different from the others, not sure). Making a single rcon for multiple games might be fit for this library after all, as it already is a wrapper for querying many games.

I will look into it to check what games have rcon support (other than Valve ones which are the same everywhere), this is now a tracking issue regarding rcon support.
