Open a tunnel to a private AKS jump host or API server

aksb tunnel wraps az network bastion tunnel, forwarding a local port to a target's port through a Standard-SKU Bastion host. The target may be a full ARM resource id or a VM name (with --target-rg).

# SSH jump host: forward an OS-assigned local port to the VM's port 22
aksb tunnel --bastion prod-hub-bastion --bastion-rg prod-hub-neu-rg \
            --target jump-vm --target-rg prod-jump-rg

# Private API server: pin a local port and forward to 443
aksb tunnel -b prod-hub-bastion --bastion-rg prod-hub-neu-rg \
            -t /subscriptions/<sub>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/jump \
            --resource-port 443 --local-port 8443

The command runs in the foreground and prints the local endpoint (127.0.0.1:<port>); press Ctrl-C to close the tunnel.
