Connection::Receive(): receive Network Packet instead of SharedBuffer<u8>.

Because we get a Buffer<u8> from ConnectionEvent, don't convert it to SharedBuffer<u8> and return it to Server/Client::Receive which will convert it to NetworkPacket
Instead, put the Buffer<u8> directly to NetworkPacket and return it to packet processing
This remove a long existing memory copy
Also check the packet size directly into Connection::Receive instead of packet processing
