Description
I noticed that Invoke-SSHCommandStream does not work correctly for some commands. For example:
apt list --upgradable
It will only print a part of the first line ("Listing...") and finish, but the output should be:
Listing... Done
docker-ce-cli/buster 5:24.0.7-1~debian.10~buster amd64 [upgradable from: 5:24.0.6-1~debian.10~buster]
docker-ce-rootless-extras/buster 5:24.0.7-1~debian.10~buster amd64 [upgradable from: 5:24.0.6-1~debian.10~buster]
docker-ce/buster 5:24.0.7-1~debian.10~buster amd64 [upgradable from: 5:24.0.6-1~debian.10~buster]
kubeadm/kubernetes-xenial 1.26.0-00 amd64 [upgradable from: 1.22.2-00]
kubectl/kubernetes-xenial 1.26.0-00 amd64 [upgradable from: 1.22.2-00]
kubelet/kubernetes-xenial 1.26.0-00 amd64 [upgradable from: 1.22.2-00]
I assume that it has something to do with how the apt command prints its output. If the behavior of Invoke-SSHCommandStream cannot be improved, it should be documented as a limitation.

Research direction
Start at the Invoke-SSHCommandStream entry point and reproduce the issue with apt list --upgradable, comparing its streamed output with the expected complete listing. Determine whether the command's output can be streamed fully; done means the complete output is returned, or the limitation is documented if it cannot be improved.
