Reduce the chance of file descriptor leaks in SMBServer
This patch addresses three observed error conditions in long-running SMB services.
1. A call to get_once() in on_client_data could raise a Timeout exception and bubble all the way up to the dispatcher. This should technically never happen, but gets triggered for zero-byte writes and clients closing their connections. The fix was to handle the exception and lower the timeout. The change was tested with a number of SMB clients to make sure this didn't introduce any regressions.
2. A client could indefinitely keep a connection to the SMB server. The SMB server now disconnects idle clients after 120 seconds of inactivity (configurable).
3. A client could send a large amount of data that was invalid SMB traffic, using up memory as a potential DoS.
Caveats: The idle client sweep occurs every 100 requests or at an interval equal to the idle timeout. A client could fill up the entire connection table on its own, preventing the sweep from occurring by preventing new connections. Fixing this would require a dedicated thread to sweep for idle connections and is a more aggressive attack than this patch is designed to defend against (accidental connection flooding, basically).
