Detailed description
TCP connections can behave similarly to sockets on all supported platforms. This patch allows for specifying "address:port" on Linux, Windows, and Mac for connecting to a remote device.
Currently this has been tested with Farpatch, however future versions could allow inception debugging wherein low-level commands are forwarded from BMDA to the target, which could even be a second instance of BMDA.
