This should be turned into VIR_DISPOSE_STR.

Openssh currently is using SHA256 with base64 encoding. I think we
should at least for libssh switch to this newer approach.

If you asprintf into 'tmp' first you won't need to typecast here ...

So this code needs to be called before asking the user for the
passphrase in cases where you are able to find the public part even
without decrypting the private key.

This is necessary, because otherwise if you don't have the SSH key
installed on the server you are connecting to, you still need to enter
the passphrase.

By reordering the code it should no longer be necessary if the key is
not installed.

Maybe it would be better to extract this into a function since this
looks rather complex.

ARRAY_CARDINALITY can be used only on static arrays. This will always
iterate only the first element since it's used on a dynamically alocated
object.

This function is not used anywhere in this series.

This header is misaligned.

The rest looks good or at least similar to the libssh2 impl. The
semantics with getting the passprhase for a sshkey need to be fixed
though.
