Are there any plans to add VSOCK support for Glider?

@nadoo Thoughts on this? VSOCKS are becoming a big thing for secure Guest-Host communications and using tools like gvisor, firecracker, kata-containers. Recent linux kernels support VSOCK natively.

Thanks for your info, I'll add vsock support on linux version later.

Looking forward!

Now with this commit , we can use vsock like this:

host:
glider -verbose -listen vsock://:1234,socks5://

guest:
glider -verbose -listen :1080 -forward vsock://2:1234,socks5://

test on guest:
curl -x http://127.0.0.1:1080 ifconfig.me
