Chat server listens for incoming tcp connections. Server can access several types of message:

- `/list` - list all available rooms
- `/join name` - join room, if room does not exist, create new one
- `/name name` - set session name
- `some message` - just string, send message to all peers in same room
- client has to send heartbeat `Ping` messages, if server does not receive a heartbeat message for 10 seconds connection gets dropped
