Netty Channel FSM

A ChannelFsm manages non-blocking access to a Netty Channel instance.

Access to the Channel happens via connect(), disconnect(), and getChannel().

Once connected, the state machine works to keep the Channel connected until disconnect() is called.

Persistence

When the persistent setting is true, if the initial connect() fails it will move into a reconnecting state rather than back to a not connected state.

Lazyness

When the lazy settings is true, a connection loss moves the state machine into an idle state, waiting to reconnect until the next connect() or getChannel() call requests a Channel.
