Get socket_option::identity returns wrong value

[johanLsp]

I stumbled across this : the string returned by calling get for the identity socket option is missing the last character. I started to write additional tests to cover this use case. The issue comes from socket.cpp:862, I'll try and make a pull request later to fix it. I've got the feeling that it boils down to the identity option being the oldest string type option in zmq (< v 3.2), and is not consistent with newer options such as plain_password or plain_username.

I've stumbled upon this today!

Couldn't figure out why my STREAM socket is failing while trying to send the first message as a client.

I like your pull request with fixes. Instead of adding additional if branch inside case, I would use already present case socket_option::identity to add specific behaviour there.

I made it explicit as you suggested. Unfortunately, this repo doesn't seem to be so active anymore.

Sorry it took a while, I've now merged this pull request, I'll slowly work through outstanding requests as I can find some time. Of course I have to make sure they work together now as well, always penalties for being lazy :)
