Feature Request: Disable SSH Agent via macOS Menu Bar

It would be great to add an option 'Disable SSH Agent' to the 1Password Menu Bar Item on macOS.

There's already an option to 'Disable Snippet Expansion' which is helpful. The 'Disable SSH Agent' would work the same.

 

This would be helpful in scenarios where you are connecting to a system via SSH that doesn't have any of your 1Password-managed SSH keys. When I have the agent enabled, I often get `Too many authentication failures` for those systems. The ability to quickly disable and re-enable afterwards would be helpful. 

The current solution is to open the app, go to Settings > Developer, and toggle it there - which is cumbersome:

To avoid confusing non-developer users with the option, it could only show up when the 1Password Developer experience was activated, or when the SSH Agent was enabled at least once.

 

Thanks!
