commit 3967cb5 forced multiplexing off with "-S none", overriding the user's ssh configuration, to work around a bug in openssh (#4717, #4720)
This patch uses the multiplex connection if one is available, while avoiding the problem with the "-f" bug.
Reason: our university's cluster blocks you for half an hour if you make more than 3 connections to
port 22 within one minute. This makes IPython unusable via ssh at the moment. I think this patch resolves it.
Have done some minimal testing, with/without mux and with/without public key auth.
