Motivation
Setting keepalive parameters used to be possible in previous releases, and it would be nice to restore this capability. Long-standing TCP connections could benefit from having keepalive probes enabled. Example use case: scylladb/scylla-rust-driver#132
Refs #3082
Solution
A pair of keepalive()/set_keepalive() functions are implemented on top of mio's keepalive feature (added in tokio-rs/mio#1385). The interface is consistent with the one from Tokio 0.2.9. This patch comes with a simple test which verifies that previously set values are indeed saved.
