TL2BetaMiniLobby: reconstructing the Torchlight 2 beta lobby

TL2BetaMiniLobby reconstructs the lobby service required by the May 2012 Torchlight 2 beta. Its C# server handles lobby messages so the beta client can start offline after its configured lobby host is changed to localhost; the author reports testing client version 0.20.8.1.
