Support management/connection over TCP

Currently, the connection is established via unix socket files. It would be nice if this library would also support connecting to HAProxy over TCP as well. :)

[EDIT]: URLs might be a good way on how to define how it connects.

hap = haproxy.HAProxy('unix:///var/run/haproxy.sock')  # via unix socket
hap = haproxy.HAProxy('tcp://127.0.0.1:1937')  # via TCP

True as it could be handy in some situations. But, it will slow down the operations in environments with X haproxy processes.

+1 for this feature.

Are we planning to integrate the changes related to TCP socket to master anytime soon ?
