Expect doesn't wake up after disconnect #670

If the connection is lost while we're waiting in ShellStream.Expect(), Expect() doesn't wake up, either hanging forever or until the timeout elapses.

Here's a simple repro. I configured the target server (a Cisco NCS-5K) to end sessions that have been idle for 30 seconds, and then I set an expect that never matches. The connection dies 30 seconds in, but the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Expect waits 5 excruciating minutes to return:

            var ssh = new SshClient(info);
            ssh.Connect();
            using (var shell = ssh.CreateShellStream("xterm", 80, 80, 80, 80, 1024))
            {
                shell.Expect("#", TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
                Trace.TraceInformation("Shell has started!");
                var time = Stopwatch.StartNew();
                var result = shell.Expect("Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!", TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
                Trace.TraceInformation($"Shell took {time.Elapsed} to time out..");
            }

Expect() should return immediately upon disconnect.
