Keepalive for links in service bus?

[RichardOberdieck]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Even when a connection in a service bus sender is kept open, the underlying links disconnect after a timeout (see here). While this may be fine for some use cases, we require a constant link to be open so that we don't have to wait for it to build up (takes around 2 seconds in our infra), which is unacceptably long.

Describe the solution you'd like
A keepalive setting which keeps links alive without such a timeout. Alternatively, a ping functionality that triggers the link not to shut down would also be ok.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We ended up writing the ping stuff ourselves, which is really not our job in my opinion. This, IMO, is a core part of any messaging service. It's fine to have default time outs, but we need to be able to overwrite those.
