Hi,

In some cases it's necessary to ensure that remote port forwarding has been
established properly. Unfortunately it's impossible to do in the current ssh
since failure to establish forwarding is not fatal. Attached please find patch
which adds new option for ssh (default is off), which allows to make such
condition a fatal error, resulting in ssh(1) exiting with error code when one
of requested remote forwardings can't be established for some reason.
