Add a new advanced command mode to s_client
The s_client command mode just looks at the first letter on a line and if it is one that maps to a "command" then that command is executed and everything else on the line is ignored. This means it is impossible to send anything over s_client that starts with one of the "magic" letters unless you switch off command processing entirely. With the forthcoming quic support that will be added to s_client we expect a significant new number of commands being added (for example to send fin on a stream, or to list or swap between different streams, etc). This will use up more "letters" and reduces the usability of s_client. This PR adds a new "advanced" command processing mode. Commands are enclosed in braces {}, and can appear anywhere in the text typed into s_client. A brace can be escaped by sending a double {{. This gives much more flexibility without reducing the usability of s_client. Commands can also have "arguments" which also extends the scope of what they can be used for.
