[pytorctl/master] Option to get get_network_status as an iterator

[pytorctl/master] TorCtl connect method inflexible

In particular it... - sends feedback to stdout - prompts for the controller password on stdin - suppresses exceptions To get around this I'm adding a more generic 'connectionComp' that does the icky bits of the connection negotiation I was trying to hide while still giving the caller what it needs to handle the connection process however it'd like.
