feat: socket/channel closed detection

[simbleau]

The logic to close and check sockets/channels if they are closed.

One thing is noticeably absent: How do we disconnect a specific peer? I have a client/server topology, and I need a server socket to kick specific clients under certain conditions.

Closes #286

On further investigation, I think I know a potential way to sever connections.

We would need a new signal type: Disconnect, as such:

And in the signaling server topologies, the peer disconnection could be handled:

This would require we maintain ownership of the WebSocket object, so we can do ws.close().

That's not currently possible because we split the websocket into a Sink and a Stream, and I'm not well versed enough to know what the correct way to proceed. Do we "reunite them"? Do we only need to drop the Sink? I have no idea. Probably something @johanhelsing or @garryod could help or answer.

@johanhelsing @garryod thoughts?

Why does signaling need to be involved in this? couldn't the server socket just close the connection?

That would be good, but I can't find out how to accomplish closing the socket for a specific peer.

Any ideas @johanhelsing ?

What's the problem?

Wouldn't socket.disconnect(peer) work?

So, for WebRtcSocket you're suggesting a .disconnect(peer), which I like for an API.

I'm just unsure how it should be implemented. The problems I'm facing are:

• WebRtcSocket saves no information relating PeerId to WebRtcChannel. Currently, here is how it is saved: channels: Vec<Option<WebRtcChannel>>. Perhaps we could use a HashMap here instead. Then it would need to be atomically synchronized with peers: HashMap<PeerId, PeerState>,.
• Once a peer gets disconnected, they would still have a connection with the signaling server, right? Why don't we have an API to disconnect that, too, in cases where Server peer is dually operating as the Signaler? The main concern I have is that a connection to the Signaler will never get cleaned up, and it will pile up until there's a stack overflow and which could be abused to crash the server.

@johanhelsing Updated to detect is channels and sockets are closed, but removed the socket.disconnect(PeerId) API as a todo since it's hard.
