[RFC] removing comm half-closed mechanism

While working on redesign of the ConnStateData functionality I have come
to suspect that the half-closed FD monitoring feature is possibly
defunct now.

In particular ConnStateData now provides stopReceiving()/stopSending()
members to explicitly finish closing the connection at an appropriate
time in the traffic and a set of accessors to monitor the half-closed
nature of connections in a much more deterministic directional way. It
would seem the FD monitoring handler which is set for half-closed might
still be useful, but this can be moved to a ConnStateData handler instead.

Anyone have a reason why we should keep all the half-closed code in
comm.cc ?
