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_channel_x11_req_ex - request an X11 forwarding channel
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libssh2.h>
int
libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int single_connection,
const char *auth_proto, const char *auth_cookie,
int screen_number);
int
libssh2_channel_x11_req(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel,
int screen_number);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIchannel\fP - Previously opened channel instance such as returned by
.BR libssh2_channel_open_ex(3)
\fIsingle_connection\fP - non-zero to only forward a single connection.
\fIauth_proto\fP - X11 authentication protocol to use
\fIauth_cookie\fP - the cookie (hexadecimal encoded).
\fIscreen_number\fP - the XLL screen to forward
Request an X11 forwarding on \fIchannel\fP. To use X11 forwarding,
.BR libssh2_session_callback_set2(3)
must first be called to set \fBLIBSSH2_CALLBACK_X11\fP. This callback will be
invoked when the remote host accepts the X11 forwarding.
.SH 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.
.SH ERRORS
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC\fP - An internal memory allocation call failed.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND\fP - Unable to send data on socket.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_REQUEST_DENIED\fP -
