Description

Add client support for port-forwarding

Patch attached; it creates a new channel type (direct-tcpip) and also has two strategies for using it.

The first strategy opens a local socket and relays incoming connections over the SSH channel, it is useful for compatibility, but the implementation is thread-intensive and so not really preferred.

The preferred strategy subclasses Socket, and allows for connection over an SSH tunnel without opening a local port.
