The adapter isn't closing when the agent connession is missing

[lcicala]

When the Stop method is called on an instance of the adapter there is a 20-second delay before continuing. After that the application continue running until its closing, but a library thread continue running and it doesn't allow the application to close completely, this issue does not permit the application to run again until the thread is killed by the task manager. This issue is only noticeable when the agent is missing.

The problem is in the mListenThread thread which calls the TcpListener.AcceptTcpListenerClient method that as reported on the Microsoft official documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/api/system.net.sockets.tcplistener.accepttcpclient?view=netframework-4.8) is a blocking call, so when the agent is missing the thread is blocked and never ending. The 20-second delay is caused by the Thread.Join method with a timeout of 20000ms called by the adapter Stop method; since the mListenThread is never ending the timeout is fully consumed and the execution continues.
In order to fix this issue the TcpListener.AcceptTcpClient call will be executed only when there are pending requests.

You should change to catch the exception since agent is out and the tcp will throw an error.
Once you are out the blocking call you can then start listening again.
Even agent is still connecting with adapter but Tcp connect could be dropped and create an exception so it would be able to catch an error here and start the listening again.
