Unless I'm misreading the code, any global request from the other end
(eg a port forward request) other than IGNORE or UNIMPLEMENTED will
reset the keepalive timer, even if it's not in response to a keepalive
packet.  I think that it IGNORE messages should reset the keepalive as
they're just as good an indication that the other end is alive as any
other packet (more, if the peer is using them for its own keepalive).
