RESPONDERS: Fix terminating idle connections

The client_idle_handler() function tried to schedule another tevent
timer to check for idle client connections in case the current
connection was still valid, but in doing so, it also stored the current
time into the last_request_time field of the client context.

This kept the connection always alive, because the last_request_time
could then never be older than the timeout.

This patch changes the setup_client_idle_timer() function to only do
what the synopsis says and set the idle timer. The caller (usually the
function that accepts the connection) is supposed to store the request
time itself.
