Connect to remote nREPL server

[JonyEpsilon]

It would be nice if Gorilla could connect to an already running/remote nREPL sever. The sticking point is that Gorilla needs to insert its own middleware, and I don't think that's possible at the minute in a running nREPL server. There's been some discussion here https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/720 about the value of being able to change the nREPL middleware at runtime.

As a sign of interest, I've done a very basic version of this for a professional project myself.

My 2 cents would be:

1. Provide a convenience function to add the cider + gorilla middlewares when starting an embedded nrepl - I had to do this manually in the app
2. Add an option to the config for connecting to a remote instead - I simply hacked this in https://github.com/cursork/gorilla-repl/compare/remote-nrepl

If it's impossible to add middleware on the fly, expecting the remote repl to have the middleware already seems like a reasonable interim solution to me.

Thanks for the notes. I'm a bit busy at the moment to get much done on Gorilla, but remote REPL is high on my list once I have some more time :-)

@cursork - this looks like a good one to have for the time being- https://github.com/cursork/gorilla-repl/compare/remote-nrepl :+1:
