session: add libssh2_session_callback_set2()
Add new `libssh2_session_callback_set2()` API that deprecates
`libssh2_session_callback_set()`.

The new implementation offers the same functionality, but accepts and
returns a generic function pointer (of type `libssh2_cb_generic *`), as
opposed to the old function that used data pointers (`void *`). The new
solution thus avoids data to function (and vice versa) pointer
conversions, which has undefined behaviour in standard C.

About the name: It seems the `*2` suffix was used in the past for
replacement functions for deprecated ones. Let's stick with that.
`*_ex` was preferred for new functions that extend existing ones with
new features.

Closes #1285

.SH NAME
libssh2_agent_sign - sign data, with the help of ssh-agent
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libssh2.h>
int
libssh2_agent_sign(LIBSSH2_AGENT *agent,
struct libssh2_agent_publickey *identity,
unsigned char **sig,
size_t *s_len,
const unsigned char *data,
size_t d_len,
const char *method,
unsigned int method_len);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIagent\fP - ssh-agent handle as returned by
.BR libssh2_agent_init(3)
\fIidentity\fP - Public key to authenticate with, as returned by
.BR libssh2_agent_get_identity(3)
\fIsig\fP - A pointer to a buffer in which to place the signature. The caller
is responsible for freeing the signature with LIBSSH2_FREE.
\fIs_len\fP - A pointer to the length of the sig parameter.
\fIdata\fP - The data to sign.
\fId_len\fP - The length of the data parameter.
\fImethod\fP - A buffer indicating the signing method. This should match the
string at the start of identity->blob.
\fImethod_len\fP - The length of the method parameter.
Sign data using an ssh-agent. This function can be used in a callback
registered with libssh2_session_callback_set2(3) using
LIBSSH2_CALLBACK_AUTHAGENT_SIGN to sign an authentication challenge from a
server. However, the client is responsible for implementing the code that calls
this callback in response to a SSH2_AGENTC_SIGN_REQUEST message.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 if succeeded, or a negative value for error.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in libssh2 1.11.0
