Persistent containers using container tunnel

[karolz-ms]

In the current implementation, a Container that needs to be persistent cannot depend on the container tunnel to reach endpoints on the host network. The reason is that the tunnel itself is not persistent.

The tunnel consists of 2 proxies actually:

1. The container proxy that handles connection requests coming from other containers on the same container network
2. The server proxy that proxies traffic from container proxy to desired host services (back-ends) that serve it.

The server proxy is a regular process (dcp tunnel-server). To enable tunnel persistence, we need support for persistent Executables, and then make the tunnel persistent (on demand) too.

What is the status of #13 and can partial work (client-side only) be welcome?

[karolz-ms]

Oluwasegun Haziz (@haliaeetusvocifer) this is an issue that is pretty much impossible to solve properly without #13. We are planning to address this as part of #9 work stream.

I would suggest #106 as a good "next level" issue to work on.
