dial(1): add dial command similar to plan9port
This is similar to plan9port dial(1), but names aux/dial
because we already have the expect(1) commands in
/bin/dial.
One difference is that our dial allows specifying a
command, similar to aux/listen1 that will get connected
it standard input and output to the network connection.
