Description
OpenSSH finally implemented section 6.9 of the SSH protocol RFC, which is signal handling, and it would be a great feature to have in paramiko.
#1535 Adds this functionality to paramiko.channel.Channel as a start. It would be nice to have some dedicated functionality for this inside SSHClient, so that for example killing a process without having to resort to "& echo $!" is possible.

Research direction
Start by reading paramiko.channel.Channel and SSHClient, then compare the existing work in #1535 with section 6.9 of RFC 4254. Determine how SSHClient should expose signal handling without requiring an "& echo $!" workaround. Done means the intended client-level functionality is defined and covered by tests.
