Convert to twistd plugin

[SoundsSerious]

Hi, first off thanks for this code, I hope this is exactly what I need!

Secondly this isn't really an issue, but I am looking for the recommended way to run this in the same reactor with other twisted code.

I think i could setup the factory as per your main() method but it would be quite nice to have this as a twisted plugin as exists here:
https://docs.twisted.org/en/stable/core/howto/tap.html

I'm not really so familiar with this but I may give it a shot after integrating this code.

Shouldn't be too difficult to replace the main() functionality with whatever is necessary to turn it into a twistd plugin. Please do submit a pull request if you manage to do this. Is there any advantage to running in the same reactor as other code, or do you only need that for some reasons specific to your deployment?

Ah great, taking a look through the code now and I see that the proxy service is a passthrough that doesn't store state so this is probably well suited as a twisted plugin. I was thinking that this library kept track of certain services in memory, but I think i am mistaken upon a second look.

Say I had services A-Z in my distributed system it would be nice to have a ready to go solution to keep track of group IP's and some other meta data about the service for orchestration with a RPC like say twisted's PerspectiveBroker to keep things pure python. This is probably significantly more work and zeroconf may fill that roll as well.

I think in general keeping things in the same process is great for orchestrating complex tasks / functionality since everything is in the same memory space you dont have to write integration processes for example.

I think this is a good starting place for something like that so If I do make some steps in that direction I will certainly provide a PR with updates
