Christopher Faulet 2f1a1e0de3 MEDIUM: peer: Improve management of reconnect timer and heartbeat messages
heartbeat messages are sent to keep a connection active. However, a
heartbeat messages was sent periodically, even if some other messages were
sent during this period. It is not an issue but it is useless. heartbeat
messages should only be sent if nothing was sent to the peer since a
moment. So, in this patch, the heartbeat timer is rearmed each time a message
is sent.

On the receiver side, the reconnect timer was only rearmed when a heartbeat
message was received instead of rearming it for any messages. Again, it is
not an issue because the inactivity is managed with PEER_F_ALIVE flag. This
flag is removed when the reconnect timer timed out but it is reinserted when
something is received. But an periodic wakeup may be uselessly performed.
So, in this patch, the reconnect timer is rearmed each time a message is
received.
