Description
OpenSSH supports forwarding to unix sockets: https://lwn.net/Articles/609321/.
For example, a mysql server on remotehost using socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock can be made accessible on the local machine on TCP port 5000:
ssh -L 127.0.0.1:5000:/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock remotehost

Start by reading the OpenSSH unix-socket forwarding reference linked in the issue and tracing SSH.NET's existing local TCP forwarding entry points. Done means supporting the shown 127.0.0.1:5000 to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock forwarding scenario, with coverage for the new behavior.
