"""Socket controller base with a configurable wire protocol.
On top of the stock ``Controller`` this adds:
- configurable outgoing line termination (``term``) and reply terminators
(``trail``, a single string or several alternatives),
- a buffered ``socket_get`` that reassembles replies split across TCP reads and
rejects runaway replies (``max_reply_length``),
- a per-controller ``socket_timeout`` for individual send/recv operations,
- reconnect-before-retry on communication errors, discarding stale replies.
