Port Forward currently only allows forwarding to pod resource type

[matt-ramcharan]

Currently the API reference for port-forward is hardcoded to the /pods/ route
https://github.com/kubernetes-client/javascript/blob/main/src/portforward.ts#L43

As per the Kubernetes docs, port-forward has functionality for any Resource Type (Service, Pod, Deployment, etc)
https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_port-forward/

Could there be an added parameter to change this dynamically?

I suppose it makes sense to support this.

linking for reference #435

note the underlying resource appears to be on the pod rest route in kubectl, it uses the selectors to find a running pod for services/ deployments as linked above
