Implementations of L{IStreamServerEndpoint} and L{IStreamClientEndpoint} that
wrap the L{IReactorTCP}, L{IReactorSSL}, and L{IReactorUNIX} interfaces.

This also implements an extensible mini-language for describing endpoints,

    Construct a stream server endpoint from an endpoint description string.

    The format for server endpoint descriptions is a simple string.  It is a
    prefix naming the type of endpoint, then a colon, then the arguments for
    that endpoint.

    For example, you can call it like this to create an endpoint that will
    listen on TCP port 80::

        serverFromString(reactor, "tcp:80")

    Additional arguments may be specified as keywords, separated with colons.
    For example, you can specify the interface for a TCP server endpoint to
    bind to like this::

        serverFromString(reactor, "tcp:80:interface=127.0.0.1")

    SSL server endpoints may be specified with the 'ssl' prefix, and the
    private key and certificate files may be specified by the C{privateKey} and
    C{certKey} arguments::

        serverFromString(reactor, "ssl:443:privateKey=key.pem:certKey=crt.pem")

    If a private key file name (C{privateKey}) isn't provided, a "server.pem"
    file is assumed to exist which contains the private key. If the certificate
    file name (C{certKey}) isn't provided, the private key file is assumed to
    contain the certificate as well.

    You may escape colons in arguments with a backslash, which you will need to
    use if you want to specify a full pathname argument on Windows::

        serverFromString(reactor,
            "ssl:443:privateKey=C\\:/key.pem:certKey=C\\:/cert.pem")

    finally, the 'unix' prefix may be used to specify a filesystem UNIX socket,
    optionally with a 'mode' argument to specify the mode of the socket file
    created by C{listen}::

        serverFromString(reactor, "unix:/var/run/finger")
        serverFromString(reactor, "unix:/var/run/finger:mode=660")

    Construct a client endpoint from a description string.

    Client description strings are much like server description strings,

    You can create a TCP client endpoint with the 'host' and 'port' arguments,
    like so::

        clientFromString(reactor, "tcp:host=www.example.com:port=80")

    or, without specifying host and port keywords::

        clientFromString(reactor, "tcp:www.example.com:80")

    Or you can specify only one or the other, as in the following 2 examples::

        clientFromString(reactor, "tcp:host=www.example.com:80")
        clientFromString(reactor, "tcp:www.example.com:port=80")

    or an SSL client endpoint with those arguments, plus the arguments used by
    the server SSL, for a client certificate::

        clientFromString(reactor, "ssl:web.example.com:443:"
                                  "privateKey=foo.pem:certKey=foo.pem")

    to specify your certificate trust roots, you can identify a directory with
    PEM files in it with the C{caCertsDir} argument::

        clientFromString(reactor, "ssl:host=web.example.com:port=443:"
                                  "caCertsDir=/etc/ssl/certs")

    Both TCP and SSL client endpoint description strings can include a
    'bindAddress' keyword argument, whose value should be a local IPv4
    address. This fixes the client socket to that IP address::

        clientFromString(reactor, "tcp:www.example.com:80:"
                                  "bindAddress=192.0.2.100")

    NB: Fixed client ports are not currently supported in TCP or SSL
    client endpoints. The client socket will always use an ephemeral
    port assigned by the operating system

    You can create a UNIX client endpoint with the 'path' argument and optional
    'lockfile' and 'timeout' arguments::

        clientFromString(reactor, "unix:path=/var/foo/bar:lockfile=1:timeout=9")

    or, with the path as a positional argument with or without optional
    arguments as in the following 2 examples::

        clientFromString(reactor, "unix:/var/foo/bar")
        clientFromString(reactor, "unix:/var/foo/bar:lockfile=1:timeout=9")
