A live tmux control client.

One-shot commands start a tmux client, run one thing, and exit. A control
session keeps one client for as long as it is held, which is what makes
tmux willing to report what happens while nobody asked: pane output, windows
appearing, sessions changing.

Disposing ends the client. Everything a caller reads comes through
<see cref="Events" />, which completes after a normal exit and faults after
buffered events when the control stream fails.
