Allow to pass extra parameters to `aws ec2-instance-connect ssh`

[lcswillems]

Describe the feature

Allow to pass extra parameters to aws ec2-instance-connect ssh

Use Case

E.g. I want to start the tunnel in the background.

If I was using the SSH directly, I would do:

ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new" -f -N -L $DOCKER_TCP_HOSTNAME:/var/run/docker.sock -i $KEY $INSTANCE_USER@$INSTANCE_IP

With aws ec2-instance-connect ssh, it would be great to do:

aws ec2-instance-connect ssh -- -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new" -f -N -L $DOCKER_TCP_HOSTNAME:/var/run/docker.sock
