Title: INT-1770 Support Client Mode For TCP Endpoints

Add client mode for inbound endpoints, and for the
outbound adapter.

INT-1770 Allow Inbound Adapter to Open Connection

Normally, inbound adapters use server sockets and wait for incoming
connection. There are use cases where the adapter should establish
the connection and wait for inbound messages.

INT-1770 Open Connection on Start

Allow configuration of outbound adapter to permit
connection establishment when the adapter is started
rather than when the first message arrives.

INT-1770 Allow Inbound Gateway to Open Connection

Normally, inbound gateways listen for connections. There are
use cases where an inbound gateway might open the connection
and then wait for incoming requests.

INT-1770 Parsers

Update parsers and tests to support attributes for setting
endpoints in client-mode.

INT-1770 Docs

Update reference with client-mode information.

INT-1770 Add Control Bus for Client Mode

Enable control bus commands to check status and to attempt
connection establishment.
