Mosh support #432

Description

@sirnewton01

Using mobile devices, often ssh clients will need to be moved to the background and its network connections are closed. For example, the i*S app Termius app gets around this by using mosh, which is connection-less extension to ssh. As long as the remote end supports the mosh protocol, then it can seamlessly reconnect.

It would be great if ssh-chat could support mosh from the client, so that people can have persistent chat connections, especially over mobile devices and get automatic support from clients like Termius.

The overhead of the persistent connections might be too much for the publish ssh.chat service, so I presume that this would need to be configurable to disable/enable/enable with some kind of a timeout for sessions. Private ssh-chat servers might consider a more wide-open approach because the trust level is higher.
