现在，是比较有趣（也比较难）的异步实现！ 当查看流程图时，你需要知道boost.asio代表由boost.asio执行的一个异步调用。例如do_read()，boost.asio和on_read()代表了从do_read()到on_read()的逻辑流程，但是你永远不知道什么时候轮到on_read()被调用，你只是知道你最终会调用它。
基于tcp的异步客户端

/** simple connection to server:
- logs in just with username (no password)
- all connections are initiated by the client: client asks, server answers
- server disconnects any client that hasn't pinged for 5 seconds
possible requests:
- gets a list of all connected clients
- ping: the server answers either with "ping ok" or "ping client_list_changed"

注意每一个read操作都会触发一个ping操作
1.当read操作结束时，on_read()被调用
2.on_read()调用on_login()，on_ping()或者on_clients()
3.每一个方法要么发出一个ping，要么请求客户端列表
4.如果我们请求客户端列表，当read操作接收到它们时，它会发出一个ping操作。
还需注意的是这里的postpone ping操作，是基于boost::asio::deadline_timer实现的异步定时。
