Display SSH error messages in UI

Motivation

Hello,

I’m working in a restricted environment where I cannot establish SSH connections to any hosts. When I attempt to use lazyssh, it fails silently without giving me clear feedback about why the connection could not be made.

It would be very helpful if the UI displayed the actual SSH error messages (e.g., connection refused, timeout, unreachable host, permission denied, etc.). This way, users can immediately understand what went wrong instead of having to guess.

Proposed feature:

Capture SSH error output from the underlying command.

Display the error message in the UI (instead of or in addition to generic failure messages).

This would improve the user experience, especially in restricted environments like mine, where connection attempts fail silently.

Thank you for considering this!
