3.6 rlogin, telnet and tn3270

These URL schemes from RFC 1738 for logon via a terminal emulator have the form

     telnet://user:password@host:port

but the :password component is ignored.

To handle rlogin, telnet and tn3270 URLs, a rlogin, telnet or tn3270 (the program names and arguments are hardcoded) session is run in a terminal-emulator buffer. Well-known ports are used if the URL does not specify a port.
