Server for any io.ReadCloser/io.WriteCloser #38

I am hoping to use this library to write Go-based servers that can be accessed via other means than a TCP port, such as bidirectional pipes or even a serial port. If it's feasible, I can contribute the changes as PR. Is there some reason that I can't foresee why this wouldn't work? The client seems to be able to work with them.

9p has worked over serial; there is an assumption of a reliable, in-order, transport. Back in the inferno days there were 9p servers used over serial.

I think it has to be full-duplex as well. I have heard of someone trying to implement it over a hardware SPI interconnect as another example.
