Setting SO_TIMEOUT on client socket channel

["이희승 (Trustin Lee)"]

As far as I know, SO_TIMEOUT does not affect the success rate of packet 
deliveries. It just tells how soon socket read() should return before it 
receives data so that the application can do something else till the 
next read() attempt.

Netty uses SO_TIMEOUT internally to check if there is any pending 
setInterestOps() request every second.
