Option to return connected socket

[Igor Bukanov <igor () mir2 org>]

openssh starting from the version 6.5 supports a proxy command that returns
a connected socket, see ProxyUseFdpass in [1], rather than read and write
data. It would be nice to add support for this to ncat, something like
--sendfd option that would just send the connected (or perhaps even
listening socket) over stdout. This allows to skip proxy overhead for
SOCKS5/HTTP proxies once ncat established the connection to the host.

Should I file a bug about that?
