Explaination of new feature allow a library user to pass in a fd rather than having the stream functions allocate it.

If this is reasonably easy to do, let's do it for the 3.0 release. If not we can defer to 3.1

On the client side, test->ctrl_sck comes from netdial(), and on the server side test->listener comes from netannounce(). Both of those cases could be made use a passed-in fd, and default to the current behavior if the fd is -1 - looks like just a couple minutes of coding. Of course both client and server go on to allocate more fds for the test stream(s), I assume we are not talking about those.

Implemented this for the client-side control socket. The server-side case is a little trickier, not done yet.
