Add a Mosh (mobile shell) component https://mosh.org/ , especially for the "local echo" feature ( see demo) that makes remote shell over high latency network less painful.

I could not get the integrated mosh command to work with webrunner's openssh, but I'm already opening this MR for visibility. For now, connecting using the way described as Q: How do I run the mosh client and server separately? in mosh FAQ works.

You can evaluate this with:

[buildout]
extends = component/mosh/buildout.cfg
parts = mosh

Start the server from the server side (after ssh'ing to the server) :

$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 ./parts/mosh/bin/mosh-server new -s -v

it will prints something like:

MOSH CONNECT 60002 XXXeu5nj+CLZtw/HiIcrLQ

then from client connect with:
