     [channels.c channels.h clientloop.c clientloop.h mux.c nchan.c ssh.c]
     rewrite ssh(1) multiplexing code to a more sensible protocol.

     The new multiplexing code uses channels for the listener and
     accepted control sockets to make the mux master non-blocking, so
     no stalls when processing messages from a slave.

     avoid use of fatal() in mux master protocol parsing so an errant slave
     process cannot take down a running master.

     implement requesting of port-forwards over multiplexed sessions. Any
     port forwards requested by the slave are added to those the master has
     established.

     add support for stdio forwarding ("ssh -W host:port ...") in mux slaves.

     document master/slave mux protocol so that other tools can use it to
     control a running ssh(1). Note: there are no guarantees that this
     protocol won't be incompatibly changed (though it is versioned).
