SSH Tunnel feature

[titanomachy]

In HeidiSQL I only use the SSH tunnel option for connecting to remote databases. Connecting to remote databases with Falcon would be easier with an SSH tunnel option in the connection screen. Doing this manually via the terminal is not a lot of extra work for experienced users, but beginners might find this troublesome.

From a quick search: tunnel-ssh provides the needed functionality and depends on ssh2 (written in pure JavaScript; i.e. no native modules required 🎉)

@titanomachy Were you able to connect Falcon to your MySQL database simply by opening an SSH tunnel in the terminal and then entering your MySQL credentials in the Falcon client? I tried this and kept getting 400 errors, which leads me to believe that Falcon isn't registering the open tunnel. Would love to hear what worked for you.
