Jeremy Lin fa7d04fed4 ssh: improve key file search ...

For private keys, use the first match from: user-specified key file
(if provided), ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa, ./id_rsa, ./id_dsa

Note that the previous code only looked for id_dsa files. id_rsa is
now generally preferred, as it supports larger key sizes.

For public keys, use the user-specified key file, if provided.
Otherwise, try to extract the public key from the private key file.
This means that passing --pubkey is typically no longer required,
and makes the key-handling behavior more like OpenSSH.
