X11 forwarding and Control Sockets

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

I constantly use windows implementation of openSSH through VSCode and the server I connect to now uses two factor authentication. The lack of x11 forwarding and control sockets means that:

a) I need to have a separate ssh through wslg to run my code with x11 support. b) Every time openSSH drops the connection I need to reauthenticate it with my 2FA authenticator.

Given that wslg has incorporated support for x-windows, I don't see the technical limitation of using it for openSSH tunnels. Also, I don't understand why the keepalive sockets don't work on Windows.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
