Measure Elapsed Time with the Convenience Timer

Demonstrates Socket.StartTiming, which starts or restarts the object's convenience timer. The ElapsedSeconds property then reports the whole number of seconds since the call.

Background. This timer is a convenience for measuring durations and does not affect connection behavior or timeouts.
