Description

VirtualHost model should be enhanced to allow a client to know information about its current connection. It will be an analogue to the Broker#getUser which returns information about the current user. The information should include remore/local IP address and port, protools and transport. This should work for both AMQP and HTTP connections.

For AMQP connections, the information returned should be be sufficient to allow a client to find the Connection management object, if required.

A use case for this feature is test automation - specifically the performance / interversion test frame that records details of the tested connection as part of the results.
