Description
Proposal for new feature: DOCKER_SSH_OPTIONS environment variable
The new "ssh://" protocol for DOCKER_HOST is great, but sometimes we need to use different ssh options than the default. A common scenario if the need to point to a project-specific ssh config file instead of the default one at "~/.ssh/config".

Research direction
Start by reviewing PR #1462 and the existing ssh:// handling for DOCKER_HOST in the Docker CLI. Confirm how the proposed DOCKER_SSH_OPTIONS value should be passed and verify that project-specific SSH configuration is supported; done means the feature is implemented and covered by the relevant tests.
