This PR contains a series of patches that date back many years and I
believe were discussed on the mailing list, but never merged. We have
been using these in our local copy of libssh2 without issue since 2015,
if not earlier. I believe this is the full set of changes, as we tried
to use comments to mark where our copy of libssh2 differs from the
canonical version.
This also contains changes I made earlier this year, but which were not
discussed on the mailing list, to support certificates and FIDO2 keys
with agent forwarding.
Note that this is not a complete implementation of agent forwarding, as
that is outside the scope of libssh2. Clients still need to provide
their own implementation that parses ssh-agent methods after calling
libssh2_channel_read() and calls the appropriate callback messages in
libssh2. See the man page changes in this PR for more details.

* prefer size_t
* prefer unsigned int over u_int in public function
* add const
* docs, indent, checksrc, debug call, compiler warning fixes
Can send specific signals to remote process. Allows for slightly
improved remote process management, if the server supports it.

* variable scopes
* fix checksrc warnings
Closes#672Closes#991
Before this patch, libssh2 sent hardcoded `LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES`
struct on handle open. This can be problematic on some special OS,
where the file size should be known on new file creation. I added
two new functions to resolve this issue.
Patch-by: @vajdaakos on github via #506
Changes compared to #506:
- drop attr size fixup in favour of #946.
- move `memcpy()` under the state where we need it.
- bump filename length type to `size_t`.
- fix filenames in documentation and other nits.

This patch allow to use direct-streamlocal service from OpenSSH 6.7,
that allows UNIX socket connections.
Mods:
- delete unrelated condition:

- rebase on master, whitespace updates.

- introduce `src/crypto.c` as an umbrella source that does nothing else
than include the selected crypto backend source. Moving this job from
the built-tool to the C preprocessor.
- this allows dropping the various techniques to pick the correct crypto
backend sources in autotools, CMake and other build method. Including
the per-backend `Makefile.<crypto-backend>.inc` makefiles.
- copy a trick from curl and instead of maintaining duplicate source
lists for CMake, convert the GNU Makefile kept for autotools
automatically. Do this in `docs`, `examples` and `src`.
Ref: dfabe8bca2/CMakeLists.txt (L1399-L1413)
Also fixes missing `libssh2_setup.h` from `src/CMakeFiles.txt` after
59666e03f0.
- move `Makefile.inc` from root to `src`.
- reformat `src/Makefile.inc` to list each source in separate lines,
re-align the continuation character and sort the lists alphabetically.
- update `docs/HACKING-CRYPTO` accordingly.
- autotools: update the way we add crypto-backends to `LIBS`.
- delete old CSV headers, indent, and merge two lines in
`docs/Makefile.am` and `src/Makefile.am`.
- add `libssh2.pc` to `.gitignore`, while there.
Closes#941
Many files have been added to the cmake build files but not the automake
ones in recent years. Missing ones have been added so automake "make
dist" will now create a usable tar ball.
The integration tests using Docker are now built with automake as well
(with "make check"). They are not run yet since they aren't working yet
on Linux.

version.c, HACKING-CRYPTO, libssh2.h, libssh2_crypto_engine.3, makefile.

libssh2_crypto_engine() API to get crypto engine at runtime.

Notes :
Libssh2 uses the SSH_AUTH_SOCK env variable to read the system agent location. However, when using a custom agent path you have to set this value using setenv which is not thread-safe. The new functions allow for a way to set a custom agent socket path in a thread safe manor.
Net::SSH2, the Perl wrapping module for libssh2 implements several features*
on top of libssh2 that can fail and so need some mechanism to report the error
condition to the user.
Until now, besides the error state maintained internally by libssh2, another
error state was maintained at the Perl level for every session object and then
additional logic was used to merge both error states. That is a maintenance
nighmare, and actually there is no way to do it correctly and consistently.
In order to allow the high level language to add new features to the library
but still rely in its error reporting features the new function
libssh2_session_set_last_error (that just exposses _libssh2_error_flags) is
introduced.
*) For instance, connecting to a remote SSH service giving the hostname and
port.

Despite we announced the CMake support in libssh2-1.6.0 release notes,
the files required by the CMake build system were not included in the
release tarballs. Hence, the only way to use CMake for build was the
upstream git repository.
This commit makes CMake actually supported in the release tarballs.
The new libssh2_sftp_fsync API causes data and metadata in the
currently open file to be committed to disk at the server.
This is an OpenSSH extension to the SFTP protocol. See:
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1798
Someone on IRC pointed out that we don't have these documented so I
wrote up a first set based on the information in the wiki:
http://trac.libssh2.org/wiki/KeepAlive
Split off libssh2_sftp_seek64 from the libssh2_sftp_seek man page, and
mentioned that we consider the latter deprecated. Also added a mention
about the dangers of doing seek during writing or reading.
I found an undocumented public function and we can't have it like
that. The description here is incomplete, but should serve as a template
to allow filling in...
As the long-term goal is to get rid of the extensive set of
macros from the API we can just as well start small by not adding
new macros when we add new functions. Therefore we let the
function be libssh2_sftp_statvfs() plainly without using an _ex
suffix.
I also made it use size_t instead of unsigned int for the string
length as that too is a long-term goal for the API.
The previously existing libssh2_scp_send_ex() function has no way
to send files that are larger than 'size_t' which on 32bit
systems mean 4GB. This new API uses a libssh2_int64_t type and
should thus on most modern systems be able to send enormous
files.
all #defined macros in the public headers are considered to be part
of the API and I've generated individual man pages for each of them
to A) make it easier to figure out what each function/macro actually
is for so that automated lookups work better and for B) make sure we
have all public functions document (both macros and functions) to
make it easier for us to work away from all the macros in a future
release.
