Prevent reconnection crash#294

The existing code only prevented a second connection to be created while createHTTPRequest was being called (setting up the HTTP request and the streams). However, between the time when the socket opens the streams until the TCP handshake ends, it would be both `!conneted` and `!isConnecting`, which wouldn't prevent a second `connect`.
Since `disconnect` without a timeout only sends a close message to the server, if we tried to `connect` the socket again before the connection was closed it would not clean up the streams properly, which could result in a crash. See daltoniam#272

There are a couple cases where a socket would create a new connection without closing an existing one.
!connectedand!isConnecting, so a secondconnectwould go through creating a new pair of streams without disconnecting the first pair.disconnectwithout a timeout only sends a close message to the server, if we tried toconnectthe socket again before the connection was closed it would not disconnect the previous streams.In any of those cases we end up with a
NSInputStreamthat still has theWebSocketas a delegate, but it's no longer referenced ininputStream. If theWebSocketis deallocated, it wouldn't clean up the delegate on that stream, and if it received any data, it would try to forward it to a deallocated object, which would crash.This should fix #272
