Description
What kind of issue is this?
- [ X] Feature Request.
Allow specification in platform.ini for upload_port, monitor_port, test_port to be a remote port on a PIO agent.
It already allows for IPs, why not permit it to connect to a PIO remote agent port?

Research direction
Start by tracing how platform.ini values for upload_port, monitor_port, and test_port are parsed, including the existing IP handling. Check the upload, monitor, and test entry points and their tests. Done means each setting accepts a port on a PIO remote agent and existing IP behavior remains intact.
