#6234: stem.socket.ControlSocket.is_alive() should check if socket is open

Comment(by atagar):
Stem's Controller class has an is_alive() method which simply calls its
socket's is_alive(). You're welcome to add a 'test_connection' argument
(defaulted to False) which does a 'GETINFO version' check. This, of
course, will be problematic if we aren't yet authenticated but you can
note that in the pydocs.
If you go with this then please cite this ticket via a comment in the code
so we know that there may be a PING method in the future.
