DefaultFtpHandler catches WriteToCloseSessionException on failure to deliver 
"221 Goodbye", logs it as an error
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FTPSERVER-236
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-236
             Project: FtpServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Server
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0-M3
         Environment: Linux, probably Windows XP.  FTP clients are likely 
EnterpriseDT's, but I don't think it's restricted to them.
            Reporter: Larry West
            Priority: Minor


DefaultFtpHandler.exceptionCaught() [via FtpHandlerAdapter.exceptionCaught(), 
via DefaultIoFilterChain.exceptionCaught() ad infinitum] logs an error when the 
client closes the session before the server can send the "221 Goodbye." message.
    LOG.error("Exception caught, closing session", cause);
[which is also unfortunate wording in that it sounds like the session is being 
closed due to the exception].

In my reading of the FTP protocol, this isn't really an error; certainly not 
near the level of other problems.

I would like to suggest that if the only message that can't be delivered to a 
closing session is "221 Goodbye" that this be logged as a Warning.  I'm not 
sure where the best place to store this state is, so I'll spare you a bogus 
fix, but it should be on other order of 5-10 lines of code.

However, here's a stack trace for reference:
ERROR [apache.ftpserver.DefaultFtpHandler] - Exception caught, closing session

java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:675)
            at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

It's also inconvenient that DefaultFtpHandler.exceptionCaught is not logging 
the failedRequests List<> that 
AbstractPollingIoProcessor.clearWriteRequestQueue() so lovingly collects and 
passes in the WriteToClosedSessionException object.
