Garrett Delfosse 7b7baea851 feat: support disabling reverse/local port forwarding in agent SSH server (#24026)
The agent SSH server unconditionally allows all four SSH forwarding
paths (TCP local, TCP reverse, Unix local, Unix reverse). This is a
sandbox escape vector when workspaces are used for AI agent containment
— a reverse tunnel lets anything inside the workspace reach the user's
local machine, bypassing network isolation.

This adds two new agent CLI flags / environment variables:

- `--block-reverse-port-forwarding` /
`CODER_AGENT_BLOCK_REVERSE_PORT_FORWARDING` — blocks both TCP (`ssh -R`)
and Unix socket reverse forwarding
- `--block-local-port-forwarding` /
`CODER_AGENT_BLOCK_LOCAL_PORT_FORWARDING` — blocks both TCP (`ssh -L`)
and Unix socket local forwarding

Template admins can set these via the `env` block on the container/VM
resource that runs the agent (e.g. `docker_container`,
`kubernetes_pod`), or via `coder_env` resources tied to the agent.

Fixes https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/22275

<details>
<summary>Implementation notes</summary>

Follows the existing `BlockFileTransfer` pattern:

1. `agent/agentssh/agentssh.go` — New `BlockReversePortForwarding` and
`BlockLocalPortForwarding` fields on `Config`. TCP callbacks check these
before allowing forwarding. The `direct-streamlocal@openssh.com` channel
handler is wrapped to reject Unix local forwards.
2. `agent/agentssh/forward.go` — `forwardedUnixHandler` gains a
`blockReversePortForwarding` field to reject
`streamlocal-forward@openssh.com` requests.
3. `agent/agent.go` — New fields on `Options` and `agent` struct,
plumbed to SSH config.
4. `cli/agent.go` — New serpent flags with env vars.
5. Tests cover all four blocked paths: TCP local, TCP reverse, Unix
local, Unix reverse.
