To have the same root name and same length, to match terms used elsewhere in the code. To make it easy to identify them in pairs and by suffix. Also: move passphrase arg _after_ key source, where missing. Closes #2362

NAME
libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory - authenticate a session with a public key, read from memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>
int libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,
const char *username,
size_t username_len,
const char *publickeydata,
size_t publickeydata_len,
const char *privkeyblob,
size_t privkeyblob_len,
const char *passphrase);
DESCRIPTION
session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
username - Remote username to authenticate as.
username_len - Length of username.
publickeydata - Buffer containing the contents of a public key file.
publickeydata_len - Length of public key data.
privkeyblob - Buffer containing the contents of a private key file.
privkeyblob_len - Length of private key data.
passphrase - Passphrase to use when decoding private key file.
Attempt public key authentication using either a public key file or a PEM encoded private key file stored in memory. When providing a private key, the public key is automatically extracted from it. When providing both, the passed public key takes precedence.
RETURN VALUE
Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it is not really a failure per se.
ERRORS
LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -
LIBSSH2_ERROR_PUBLICKEY_UNVERIFIED - The username/public key combination was invalid.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED - Authentication using the supplied public key was not accepted.
AVAILABILITY
libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory was added in libssh2 1.6.0 Supported with OpenSSL, WinCNG, mbedTLS, OS/400 crypto backends.
