make the keep alive interval configurable #3444

So far the KeepAlive property for quic.Config allowed only to enable Ping send on inactive quic.Connection. That would happen half-way through the MaxIdleTimeout.

With this change, we make the configuration more flexible, by turning that property into KeepAlivePeriod, which allows to define the period for sending Ping frame since last activity for that quic.Connection.

The value used is the smaller one among:

  • MaxIdleTimeout/2
  • KeepAlivePeriod
  • MaxKeepAliveInterval

Context: We're using quic-go in https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared as a substrate for proxying multiplexed application traffic (e.g. TCP/UDP traffic).

Why: We've found situations where our quic.Connections were closed due to no network activity and we believe they should not have, for which having more pings could have potentially have helped during the idle period.

This should not change behaviour for anyone not caring about keep alive.
For those that defined the property, this is a breaking change API-wise (albeit a trivial one to fix). If that's worrisome, we can keep the existing KeepAlive flag and add the new one on the side (where KeepAlive being true defaults to half the idle period unless the KeepAlivePeriod new flag is configured).

This is interesting. What was the idle timeout value in those cases, and what keep alive are you planning to use instead?

This PR lgtm, but CI seems to be unhappy.

We have 15 sec idle timeout (so Ping at 7.5sec of inactivity).
The plan is to make it 5 sec idle timeout, and ping every 1sec of inactivity.

This PR lgtm, but CI seems to be unhappy.

Ups, I ran the integration tests, but forgot to run the unit tests. Found the culprit and pushed fix.
