* If there is no connected client then first client request is accepted.

* Returns:
* - positive value if current client was dropped
* - 0 if new client was rejected
* - negative value if error occurred
* Return value from this thread function is not used.
* Function handles global client variables:
* - client structure is reset if new client is available to connect to
* - new_client structure stores information about the client to connect to
