This is useful when user only wants to start a general socks proxy server which can accept connections from other applications in the system. Currently, we could still achieve this with this ugly way: `tailcat socks adrblob bash -c 'env | grep all_proxy; read'`.

I like the idea of this, thanks! But in this mode, shouldn't you have control over the localhost port number, or maybe even whether the SOCKS5 proxy binds to the unspecified address instead of localhost?
Maybe we need a --listen=string flag for the socks subcommand, and if the string is an integer, it's a localhost port, else it can be ":12345" for 0.0.0.0/:: (i.e. a net.Listen string)
