Detailed Description

Starts a socket receive operation, receiving bytes from a remote endpoint.

Callback will be called when some data is read from socket.
Socket library can be used to create a Socket but the socket should be created with SC::SocketFlags::NonBlocking and associated to the event loop with SC::AsyncEventLoop::associateExternallyCreatedTCPSocket or though AsyncSocketAccept.
Alternatively SC::AsyncEventLoop::createAsyncTCPSocket creates and associates the socket to the loop.

Additional notes:

• SC::AsyncSocketReceive::CompletionData::disconnected will be set to true when client disconnects

// Assuming an already created (and running) AsyncEventLoop named `eventLoop`
// and a connected or accepted socket named `client`
// ...
char receivedData[100] = {0}; // A buffer to hold data read from the socket
AsyncSocketReceive receiveAsync;
receiveAsync.callback = [&](AsyncSocketReceive::Result& res)
{
    Span<char> readData;
    if(res.get(readData))
    {
        if(res.completionData.disconnected)
        {
            // Last callback invocation done when other side of the socket has disconnected.
            // - completionData.disconnected is == true
            // - readData.sizeInBytes() is == 0
            console.print("Client disconnected");
        }
        else
        {
            // readData is a slice of receivedData with the received bytes
            console.print("{} bytes have been read", readData.sizeInBytes());
            
            // IMPORTANT: Reactivate the request to receive more data
            res.reactivateRequest(true);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // Some error occurred, check res.returnCode
    }
};
SC_TRY(receiveAsync.start(eventLoop, client, {receivedData, sizeof(receivedData)}));
