Modify ReceiveMessage to return null when connection is closed.

Added TrySocketRead method that returns 0 (zeo) when connection is closed.
Remove SocketRead(int length) overload.

Added IsConnected extension method to Socket.
Modify MessageListener() to use this extension method as condition for the message loop.
Do not bother checking readSockets as the connected check of the socket allows us to combine both the connection closed and socket disposed conditions.
