sshpeer: establish SSH connection before class instantiation

We want to move the handshake to before peers are created so
we can instantiate a different peer class depending on the
results of the handshake. This necessitates moving the SSH
process invocation to outside the peer class.

As part of the code move, some variables were renamed for
clarity. util.popen4() returns stdin, stdout, and stderr in
their typical file descriptor order. However, stdin and stdout
were being mapped to "pipeo" and "pipei" respectively. "o"
for "stdin" and "i" for "stdout" is a bit confusing. Although
it does make sense for "output" and "input" from the perspective
of the client. But in the context of the new function, it makes
sense to refer to these as their file descriptor names.

In addition, the last use of self._path disappeared, so we stop
setting that attribute and we can delete the redundant URL
parsing necessary to set it.

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:
