hm, this is tricky: the /session/ is closed immediately upon child exit, but the
/channel/ persists after this time (until read EOF or error). 

The X11 listeners need to be shut down when the /channel/ goes away, but we
don't have any way to mark the listeners as dependant on the channel. The
choices are:

1. Move x11_chanids from "struct Session" into "struct Channel", so we can
deallocate them with a cleanup function. (ugly layering violation, but we
already have several of these)

2. Don't session_close() a session until its undelying channel goes away
entirely. This may be a good way to do it - just don't deallocate the channel in
session_exit_message(), instead let the channel close callback take care of it
(include X11 closure)

3. Make all sessions share a single X11 listener. This could be simple, but it
would move us further away from supporting multiple X11 forwarding in the future
(if we ever chose to do it)
