Tcp Half Duplex Server

/**

 * @author [NVombat](https://github.com/NVombat)
 * @brief Server-side implementation of [TCP Half Duplex
 * Communication](http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_SimplexFullDuplexandHalfDuplexOperation.htm)
 * @see tcp_half_duplex_server.c
 *
 * @details
 * The algorithm is based on the simple TCP client and server model. However,
 * instead of the server only sending and the client only receiving data,
 * The server and client can both send data but only one at a time. This is
 * implemented by using a particular ordering of the `send()` and `recv()`
 * functions. When one of the clients or servers is sending, the other can only
 * receive and vice-versa. In this way, the Half Duplex Form of communication
 * can be represented using the TCP server-client model & socket programming
