New ssh option, "-f -f", like "-f", but fork() after the
first successful
forwarded port/display/agent channel open.

The idea is that a successful forwarded port/display/agent channel open
implies that the remote command started successfully and can report
errors in some manner other than by writing to stderr or exiting with
a non-zero exit code. So that is a great time for ssh to fork() off.

Also see new forkoff() function added to clientloop.c - it correctly,
I think, closes the session channel.
