Add support for OpenSSH forwarding Unix sockets

lbenezriravin commented 3 years ago

I tried to make the interface as sane as possible while maintaining as a small diff and backwards compatibility. Let me know if you'd like it to look different. Thanks for working on this project!

OpenSSH clients can forward Unix sockets instead of TCP ports with the same -L flag using a slightly modified argument. This patch should allow users to take advantage of the full syntax. From the man pages:

     -L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport
     -L [bind_address:]port:remote_socket
     -L local_socket:host:hostport
     -L local_socket:remote_socket

This patch also adds a protection for the feature.

@henryiii Is this a feature you're open to?
