Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be a nice feature, if one could select an "ssh app" or if the ssh client is installed that Terminal can detect, that it will then import the hosts defined in ~/.ssh/config and present them below the Profiles in the dropdown. Also, being able to (re)define the detected ssh application, and directory for the ssh config (such as using a WSL environment).

This would allow for easy/transparent support to create tabs as effectively SSH sessions, without having to first open a console and execute the ssh command. Just a nicety.
