  • Add new section 'Accessing Grafana remotely using an SSH tunnel'
  • Include Linux/macOS command-line instructions
  • Include Windows PuTTY GUI-based setup instructions
  • Include Windows PowerShell/OpenSSH instructions
  • Add background tunnel setup and teardown instructions

This addresses the common issue where users cannot directly access
http://localhost:3000 on the Satellite/Foreman server from their
remote workstation.
