Support forward to unix socket

[tmds]

OpenSSH supports forwarding to unix sockets: https://lwn.net/Articles/609321/.

For example, a mysql server on remotehost using socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock can be made accessible on the local machine on TCP port 5000:

ssh -L 127.0.0.1:5000:/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock remotehost

Are you just talking about a normal forwarded port using SSH? This functionality is already built-in. See an example here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41152737/c-sharp-ssh-net-tunnel-mysql-client-ioexception.

Check out ForwardedPort (base class), ForwardedPortLocal, ForwardedPortRemote, and ForwardedPortDynamic classes.

There are a few quirks though...

@LightCC No, he's talking about unix domain sockets.

Don't hesitate to file issues for those "quirks".
