Routine Description:

    A server thread can listen for connection requests from client threads
    using the NtReplyWaitReceivePort service and looking for an
    LPC_CONNECTION_REQUEST message type.

    This call will loop, calling the NtReplyWaitReceivePort service, and
    return when it sees a message of type LPC_CONNECTION_REQUEST

Arguments:

    PortHandle - Specifies the connection port to listen for connection
        requests to.

    ConnectionRequest - Pointer to a structure that describes the
        connection request the client is making:

Return Value:

    NTSTATUS - An appropriate status value
