gvproxy: Cannot disable 'ssh-port' forwarding #402

When starting gvproxy, if -ssh-port is not specified, host port 2222 will be opened and will link to port 22 in the VM.
In some cases, it could be desirable to disable this entirely. This could be done by passing -1 as the port number.
I prefer not to change the behaviour of gvproxy when --ssh-port is not specified out of backwards compat concerns.

This would be useful in containers/podman#20327

cfergeau added a commit to cfergeau/podman that referenced this issue Sep 25, 2024
podman-machine starts gvproxy without specifying -ssh-port.
This means it will always bind port 2222 (see
containers/gvisor-tap-vsock#402), effectively
bypassing the dynamic ssh port allocation.

I don't think wsl needs this port to be opened/bound on the host, but
this commit starts gvproxy with -ssh-port set to the dynamic SSH port to
avoid port conflicts with crc.
When gvproxy allows to disable this port forwarding entirely, we can
revise this.

This should fix containers#20327
