Description
Hi,
It would be useful to be able to run the client in 'stdio' mode - that way it can be used as a ProxyCommand for SSH, eg
ssh -o ProxyCommand='chisel client mychiselserver stdio:%h:%p' myuser@somehost

Research direction
Start by locating the client command and its handling of connections, then trace how a stdio stream could support the ProxyCommand example in the issue. Verify the result with an SSH ProxyCommand scenario; done means the client can relay standard input and output to the requested host and port.
