Rex::Post::Meterpreter::PacketDispatcher#keepalive

Send a ping to the server.

Our 'ping' is a check for eof on channel id 0. This method has no side
effects and always returns an answer (regardless of the existence of chan
0), which is all that's needed for a liveness check. The answer itself is
unimportant and is ignored.
