In Linux, we see 15 minute socket stalls due to OS-level TCP retries. What this means is the PhysicalConnection detects no issues on the pipe that's retrying, but is also not receiving data at all leading to long stalls in client applications. The goal here is to detect that we're timing out commands people have issued to the connection but we're getting _NOTHING_ back on the socket at all. In this case, we should assume the socket is dead and issue a reconnect so that we get out of the hung situation much faster. For an initial go at this, we've chosen 4x the timeout interval as a threshold, but could make this configurable if needed.

Also forgot to log timeout count as intended, fixing.
