GUI forwarding over remote connection #77

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is.

Right now it is not possible to get graphical user interfaces forwarded from the jetson to a laptop over a remote connection, be it through the reverse proxy or LAN (ethernet or wireless AP). It would be really nice for testing perception stuff to have GUI's be forward so it is easier to debug and see RViz/rqt windows locally.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Ideally we get a secure VNC server setup going, or we figure out X11 forwarding properly. There is an issue with getting the remote's local display mapping correctly into the docker container running on the remote as well, so we will need to look into that.

Note: We have a VNC container working for local development, so we just need to figure out how to make that work when running docker compose on the actual jetson
