Description
When I set up an ssh tunnel and access a non-existent port, I will receive an error with Connection refused
But I can't throw this message by ssh2.
connection.on('tcpip', (accept, reject) => {
reject('some message')
})
maybe it can be fixed in https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2/blob/master/lib/server.js#L548-L562

Research direction
Start in lib/server.js around lines 548-562 and trace the tcpip handler's reject path. Check how the example reject('some message') call is handled, then verify that a rejected request can produce the requested message instead of only the default connection-refused behavior.
