Telnet

We needed to issue simple commands to (and monitor) a router remotely and that's what we've been able to achieve with this little library. It's usage is simple, it doesn't do anything particularly fancy but if all you're wanting to do is interact with a telnet server by issuing commands, parsing text responses and having the opportunity to respond in code accordingly then hopefully having taken the time to wrap this up in a simple NuGet package will make your life easier!

FWIW I'm happy to take merge requests if they meet incumbent standards, don't break anything and accomodate the code file sharing so all versions work (and likely receive the same change). I'm no TCPIP/Telnet expert but if I can help out with bugs or feature requests I'll do what I can, outside my day job ofc!

v0.9 introduced a significant bump to Net versions and some potentially breaking code changes. Changes to your consuming code should be minimal, but be prepared to test thoroughly. Please raise an Issue if you encounter any problems; in part it'll help others with the same problems and we'll see what we can do to accomodate your use cases.

Minor signature changes highlighting the Rfc854 fixes dedicated overloads.

https://github.com/9swampy/Telnet/issues/69
V0.10 releases unintentionally introduced an external dependency on
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading (Net 4.7.2, 4.8, 6) and System.Memory (4.7.2).
https://github.com/Wumpf/IncludeToolbox/issues/73 - essentially same problem was observed here.
Known issue with MS](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/joinabletaskfactoryswitchtomainthreadasync-when-bu/662084) - appears to be a known issue that MS closed as low priority

Release 0.11.0 was a kneejerk fix explicitly adding the unintended dependencies.

Looking in to it further... release 0.11.1 reverted in part back to
[Point 2 - Warning not applicable to .NET Core](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70964917/optimising-an-asynchronous-call-in-a-constructor-using-joinabletaskfactory-run) instead of accepting the [VSTHRD102 warning](https://github.com/microsoft/vs-threading/blob/main/doc/analyzers/VSTHRD102.md)
but missed some references.

0.11.2 tidies up the whole reference issue and accordingly drops the dependencies again.
