tsnet: add opt-in SSH supportbradfitz/ssh_tsnet
This adds tsnet.Server.ListenSSH which, if the SSH feature is linked, returns a net.Listener whose Accept yields *tailssh.Session values (as net.Conn). This lets tsnet apps accept incoming SSH connections to implement custom TUI applications. Basic apps can use net.Conn directly (Read/Write/Close). Rich apps import ssh/tailssh and type-assert for peer identity, PTY, signals, etc. If feature/ssh isn't imported, ListenSSH returns an error. Includes a demo guess-the-number game in tsnet/example/ssh-game. Change-Id: I4e7c3c96afb030cdf4da8f2d8b2253820628129a Signed-off-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@tailscale.com>
