The Net::SSH::Gateway class is rather simple, but still a bit inflexible.
For example, it does not allow reusing an existing connection and a new one will be always opened for each gateway.
Port forwarding on Net::SSH is quite simple:
The IOError rescue retries are there to make it automatically reconnect both self + tunnel in case the tunnel has died. (The current connection does not know if the underlying tunnel has disconnected until it tries to send / receive)
This on its own doesn't fix anything (because it's missing all the host/bastion dereferencing et all), but having this could simplify #1090 and #1003
