annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 21467:3d70e3ec8a47

My changes to disable external port mapping exposed a flaw where the server socket was being closed immediately, before the client had read all the data - this caused the client to receive a RST and consequently error. The solution is to wait for the client to close the connection before closing the server connection. I'm surprised this hasn't been a problem elsewhere - it seems like it would be.
