Perhaps it would be better to fork prior to connection for
ControlPersist=yes, rather than at the end of the session. E.g.
something like the following:

if (master_socket_exists)
   control_client()
if (control_persist):
   fork()
   if (parent):
       wait_for_master_socket()
       control_client()
   else:
       daemon() /* will take care of detaching from tty, etc. */
       connect_and_establish_master()

Another handy thing might be to make ControlPersist accept a time
value, using misc.c:convtime(), for how long to stick around after the
last active channel has closed.
