SSHConfiguration: New resource/s proposal

[kilasuit]

Resource proposal

Add in 1/many resources that configures SSH and other needed aspects of SSH Server and properties like allowed keys etc

Proposed properties

Property	Type qualifier	Data type	Description	Default value	Allowed values
PropertyName	Key	String	Detailed description	None	None

Special considerations or limitations

Not sure if there is an existing resource/s out there for this
Needed for Server 2025 and below
Should reduce all admin overhead
Allow flexibility in how things like SSH Config is recommended in multiple scenarios

[kilasuit]

I will come and amend the properties in the coming days unless anyone else wants to chip in with them

Or do we create this as an SSHConfigurationDSC module instead hosted in the DSCCommunity Org

Thoughts on this?

There's an old DSC 1.1 resource for Linux

Thinking about the future with DSC v3, we might want to consider doing this as a part of SSH to make it discoverable during the winget configure export flow we're working on over at winget-cli. I'd be curious about what @SteveL-MSFT thinks as well.
