Fix hanging gen_tcp send vs close race
While a gen_tcp send was in progress with filled buffers
and slow receiver a close (from another process) would place
the port in a half dead state so the port could not signal
back to send, that waited for confirmation.
The solution is to after some time (5 s) of waiting for
send confirmation set a monitor on the port, which detects
if the port becomes half dead due to close from another process.
The close pending loop has also been improved to use the linger
timeout for waiting, and to set a system timeout (arbitrarily
selected 3 min) to not wait forever when the other end
reads data s l o w l y (tarpitting, kind of).
