bpo-34638: Store a weak reference to stream reader to break strong references loop (GH-9201)

Store a weak reference to stream readerfor breaking strong references

It breaks the strong reference loop between reader and protocol and allows to detect and close the socket if the stream is deleted (garbage collected)
