wireprotoserver: add context manager mechanism for redirecting stdio

Today, proto.redirect() sets up redirecting stdio and proto.restore()
undoes that. The API is a bit wonky because restore() is only
implemented on the HTTP protocol. Furthermore, not all calls to
redirect() are obviously paired with calls to restore(). For
example, the call to restore() for "unbundle" requests is handled
by the response handler for the HTTP protocol.

This commit introduces a new method on the protocol handler interface
to maybe capture stdio. It emits a file object or None depending on
whether stdio capture is used by the transport.

To prove it works, the "pushkey" wire protocol command has been
updated to use the new API.

I'm not convinced this is the best mechanism to capture stdio. I may
need to come up with something better once the new wire protocol
emerges into existence. But it is strictly better than before because
it removes variance in the wire protocol handler interface. It
therefore gets us closer to a unified interface between the SSH and
HTTP transports.
