As the title states, aRDP fails to read the SSH configuration file on macOS when using tunnel settings.

I'm trying to connect to 192.168.1.99:3389 via an SSH tunnel configured in ~/.ssh/config. The config file works correctly when used in the Terminal with standard ssh commands, but aRDP throws an error.

Here is my ssh config file.
```
# /Users/user/.ssh/config
Host sample
HostName host.sample.fake
User eric
Port 1234
```

Detailed log is attached below.

There is currently no support for reading that file, since the aRDP app does not use the ssh command line utility, but rather libssh2, which does not support parsing .ssh/config.

The example file you provide allows you to default to a specific port, username and nickname for a remote server, something that the app allows you to configure in.

Is there something that is other than a convenience that this is needed for?
