//! A [`DataSource`] for a remote host, reached by running `rigtop --agent`
//! through the system's `ssh` (OpenSSH; `ssh.exe` on Windows).
//!
//! Using the system client means `~/.ssh/config`, keys, agents and
//! `ProxyJump` all work as on the command line. Authentication must not
//! need a prompt (`BatchMode`), since there is no terminal to ask on.
