fix sporadic bugs within asyncserver, cherry picked from "f2b-perfom-prepare-716-cs":

- differentiate between in loop and active (reset active only after really leaves a loop);
- differentiate between foreign and self loop-thread by stop/close connection;
- stops logging connection errors if too many errors;
- safe remove socket (no sporadic errors if too fast start/stop occurred);
