Description

Make it possible to upgrade a plain socket repl to a nREPL connection.

A socket repl is a UTF-8 (Is it even guaranteed ?) connection, so upgrading it to bencode is not possible if real binary payloads are in use; are they? In any case we would need a custom bencoder that knows the underlying stream is already UTF-8.

The edn transport (#60) would be an easier target.

Since nREPL has multiplexed input a different injection strategy can be used than with unrepl: we can basically just inject a sideloader (#97). That would spare us all the blob generation.
