Revisit the default port forwarder for Lima v2.0 #4074

Description

@AkihiroSuda

The default port forwarder is shown in the following table.
| Version | Default |
| --------| ------- |
| v0.1.0 | SSH |
| v1.0.0 | GRPC |
| v1.0.1 | SSH |
| v1.1.0 | GRPC |
The default was once changed to GRPC in Lima v1.0, but it was reverted to SSH in v1.0.1 due to stability reasons.
The default was further reverted to GRPC in Lima v1.1, as the stability issues were resolved.

We have been going back and forth to switch the default port forwarder, but v2.0 seems another good opportunity to revisit the default port forwarder, as SSH seems to now outperform gRPC with:

It is also reported that the gRPC port forwarder still has issues:

Maybe we should have the "dual" port forwarder that uses SSH for TCP and gRPC for UDP, as SSH still does not support UDP?
