#24 create_connection() for in-MOO network connections
Syntax: create_connection(OBJ to) => obj
create_connection_from(OBJ from, OBJ to) => obj
Establishes a virtual network connection between 'from' (or, if
using the former syntax, #0) and 'to' using a pipe. Returns the
connection object handled on the from/#0 side of the connection.
This can be useful for testing services from within the MOO
without making them available to the outside world.
Testing with bsd-tcp, but should work with any net-multi protocol.
create_connection_from() was created as a seperate bifunc
name (instead of an optional argument) so future expansion
(print-messages, setting from/to strings, for example) is
possible.

In addition to being (mostly) rewritten to work more
elegantly (socketpair instead of pipes and no modifications
to closing of sockets; thanks Ben/Xeric for this idea), this
new version also retricts the bifuncs to wizards and has an
option to enable print_messages. (Note it does not use
DEFAULT_LISTENER_PRINT_MESSAGES, as I made this one against
a vanilla 1.8.1; A followup patch to support it will be made)

create_connection_v2_listening_options.patch can be applied
on top of the normal v2 patch to use a LIST of options
instead of print-messages. This patch will only apply with:
"[ 403534 ] Patch to make name lookup for listening points
optional" previously applied.
Support for [ 403534 ] Patch to make name lookup for listening points optional
Partially (no options) replaced at https://gitorious.org/moo/gammamoo/commits/create_connection
