Support ssh client tunneling natively about distant HOT 4 OPEN

You may be able to leverage: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/tree/main/wezterm-ssh which presents an easier to use async interface than the raw libssh2 which it uses under the covers.

I've been thinking about also enabling the use of libssh in that crate which has support for more keys and more functions and that, importantly, has overlap with the configuration we use at work than does libssh2.

Having looked at wezterm-ssh, I think I'm going to need the full ssh client lib instead to support both ssh native tunneling and running distant as an ssh client for file and proc manipulation (using an sftp channel, etc) .

Are there any specific details I should know or consider for work? If so, feel free to share privately when you have a chance :)

Moving to backlog. This requires adding the functionality to wezterm-ssh, which I don't have the time to do and isn't critical. Marking as help wanted in case someone else wants to tackle this.
