📄 Description

Currently we only use ${PATH}/nc and ${PATH}/ncat to refer to netcat. Due to packaging philosophy this binary can be available under several other disguises. E.g. on Debian/Ubuntu it also exists as ${PATH}/nc.openbsd and ${PATH}/nc.traditional. Let's play safe with such a tool and add support for these known variants. Not sure if we would prefer to have it sandboxed via firecfg by default, so I left that aspect out of this PR.

I'll keep this open for a while to give people a chance to suggest other variants if they exist.
