r24864: - Correct failure of libsmbclient against a version of Windows found on a NAS

  device.  The device resets a NBT connection on port 139 when it receives a
  NetBIOS keepalive request.  That request should be supported when NetBIOS is
  in use; Windows is behaving badly.

  libsmbclient needs a way to determine if a connection is still alive, and
  was using a NetBIOS keepalive request if port 139 was in use (on the
  assumption that it was probably NBT), and getpeername() when port 139 was
  not being used (assuming naked transport).

  This patch simplifies the code by exclusively using getpeername() to check
  whether a connection is still alive.  The NetBIOS keepalive request is
  optional anyway (with preference being given to using TCP mechanisms for the
  same purpose), so this should be both simpler and more reliable.
