Iterating thru Srv.Clients is not the way to go!! It is not
thread-save and will most likely throw strange AVs. Instead
iterate thru the thread-list and post a custom message to each
thread, the inside the thread iterate thru each thread's
client list, see TWSocketThrdServer.DisconnectAll as example.
Now one problem is that TWSocketThrdServer has no public property
ThreadList and TWsClientThread.PumpMessages doesn't fire an event
OnMessage. So the code has to be tweaked a little bit for common use.
The only reason why I started writing this component was to derive
a SSL multi-threaded server from it only to be able to test
thread-safety of the SSL code.

Here Srv.Close is the correct method to call.
