ssh kitten: Start work on connection sharing
Basic sharing works. Now investigate if we can eliminate the round-trip
latency by transmitting the data without waiting for the start message
when using a shared connection

opt('hostname', '*', option_type='hostname',
long_text='''
The hostname the following options apply to. A glob pattern to match multiple
hosts can be used. Multiple hostnames can also be specified separated by spaces.
The hostname can include an optional username in the form :code:`user@host`.
When not specified options apply to all hosts, until the
first hostname specification is found. Note that matching of hostname is done against
both the hostname used by the remote computer, and the name you pass
to SSH to connect to it. If either matches, it is considered a match.
If you wish to include the same basic configuration for many
different hosts, you can do so with the :ref:`include <include>` directive.

{copy_message} For example::
copy .vimrc .zshrc .config/some-dir
If a file should be copied to some other destination on the remote machine,
use :code:`--dest`::
copy --dest some-other-name some-file
Glob patterns can be specified to copy multiple files, with :code:`--glob`::
copy --glob images/*.png
Files can be excluded when copying with :code:`--exclude`::
copy --glob --exclude *.jpg --exclude *.bmp images/*
Files whose remote name matches the exclude pattern will not be copied.
For more details, see :ref:`ssh_copy_command`.
''')
opt('+env', '', option_type='env', add_to_default=False, long_text='''
Specify environment variables to set on the remote host. Note that
environment variables can refer to each other, so if you use::
env MYVAR1=a
env MYVAR2=$MYVAR1/$HOME/b
The value of MYVAR2 will be :code:`a/<path to home directory>/b`. Using
:code:`VAR=` will set it to the empty string and using just :code:`VAR`
will delete the variable from the child process' environment. The definitions
are processed alphabetically. The special value :code:`_kitty_copy_env_var_`
will cause the value of the variable to be copied from the local machine.
''')
opt('cwd', '', long_text='''
The working directory on the remote host to change to. Env vars in this
value are expanded. The default is empty so no changing is done, which
usually means the home directory is used.
''')
opt('share_connections', 'y', option_type='to_bool', long_text='''
Within a single kitty instance, all connections to a particular server can be
shared. This reduces startup latency for subsequent connections and means that you have
to enter the password only once. Under the hood, it uses SSH ControlMasters and
these are automatically cleaned up by kitty when it quits.
''')
opt('interpreter', 'sh', long_text='''
The interpreter to use on the remote host. Must be either a POSIX complaint shell
or a python executable. If the default sh is not available for broken, using
an alternate interpreter can be useful. Note that as the interpreter is used for
bootstrapping, hostname specific values are matched again the hostname from the
command line args only.
''')
opt('remote_dir', '.local/share/kitty-ssh-kitten', option_type='relative_dir', long_text='''
The location on the remote computer where the files needed for this kitten
are installed. The location is relative to the HOME directory. Absolute paths or paths
that resolve to a location outside the HOME are not allowed.
''')
opt('shell_integration', 'inherited', long_text='''
Control the shell integration on the remote host. See :ref:`shell_integration`
for details on how this setting works. The special value :code:`inherited` means
use the setting from kitty.conf. This setting is useful for overriding
integration on a per-host basis.''')
opt('login_shell', '', long_text='''
The login shell to execute on the remote host. By default, the remote user account's
login shell is used.''')
