devtool edit-recipe doesn't work about pyrex

[JoshuaWatt]

We can't run editors in Pyrex; that route leads to user confusion (since it won't be the user's same editor environment will all their bells and whistles), and image bloat (having to include everyone's favorite $EDITOR in the image).

Instead, I think we need to take a different approach and allow some specific commands to break out of the container. This might look like the main pyrex script creating a UNIX domain socket and passing a reference to it inside the container. A shim script in the container would be set as $EDITOR in the container, but would actually pass all it's arguments back to the main pyrex script outside the container over the domain socket; the main pyrex script would execute the correct command and send the result back over the socket.

Yeah, that sounds like a better solution to me as well, but it will require more work. I was aiming for a quick fix.

I just had an idea: How if you call devtool find-recipe whendevtool edit-recipe is run and pass back the resulting path to the host with | xargs $EDITOR?
