This adds a simple plugin using libssh (not libssh2).  The intended
use for this is with virt-v2v when sourcing guests from VMware over
SSH.

We've had several years of problems getting our libssh-based driver
into qemu.  By putting it into nbdkit instead we can bypass that.
However this also lets us combine ssh access with filters, in
particular the recently written ‘rate’ filter.
