Description

It would be useful if Minikube tunnel had a background/daemon mode. It would also be nice if it could be started whenever Minikube starts without having to do anything.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current minikube tunnel implementation in the codebase, focusing on the `cmd/minikube/cmd/tunnel.go` file and the tunnel package. Understand how the tunnel runs as a foreground process and explore adding a ` background` flag to run it as a daemon, possibly using goroutines and signal handling. Check existing design documents or discussions for background mode.
