Frédéric Lécaille 645635da84 MINOR: peers: Add a message for heartbeat.
This patch implements peer heartbeat feature to prevent any haproxy peer
from reconnecting too often, consuming sockets for nothing.

To do so, we add PEER_MSG_CTRL_HEARTBEAT new message to PEER_MSG_CLASS_CONTROL peers
control class of messages. A ->heartbeat field is added to peer structs
to store the heatbeat timeout value which is handled by the same function as for ->reconnect
to control the session timeouts. A 2-bytes heartbeat message is sent every 3s when
no updates have to be sent. This way, the peer which receives such a message is sure
the remote peer is still alive. So, it resets the ->reconnect peer session
timeout to its initial value (5s). This prevents any reconnection to an
already connected alive peer.
