(Go) Multiple SendReqExec on Same Connection

Shows how to execute a series of commands on an SSH server and retrieve each command's output (using SendReqExec). Each call to SendReqExec requires its own logical channel. This is not a separate SSH connection -- it's simply a new session channel on the existing SSH connection.
