Stephen Harris bbddadbd04 sftp: remember entered password in AskPass mode
As reported in

  https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4660#issuecomment-705502792

After switching to a password callback function, if the ssh connection
aborts and needs to be reconnected then the user is-reprompted for their
password.  Instead we now remember the password they entered and just give
that back.  We do lose the ability for them to correct mistakes, but that's
the situation from before switching to callbacks.  We keep the benefits
of not asking for passwords until the SSH connection succeeds (right
known_hosts entry, for example).

This required a small refactor of how `f := &Fs{}` was built, so we can
store the saved password in the Fs object

Stephen Harris 9e925becb6 sftp: defer asking for user passwords until the SSH connection succeeds
Issue: 4660
    https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4660

Unexpected side effect: a wrong password allows for the user to retry!

Stephen Harris 6dc28ef50a sftp: Allow user to optionally check server hosts key to add security
Based on Issue 4087
  https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/4087

Current behaviour is insecure.  If the user specifies this value then we
switch to validating the server hostkey and so can detect server changes
or MITM-type attacks.

Stephen Harris 17acae2b00 sftp: allow cert based auth via optional pubkey
Discussion at
  https://forum.rclone.org/t/ssh-certificate-based-authentication-does-not-work/19222

Basically we allow the user to specify their own public key cert rather
than letting the SSH client extract the pubkey from the private key.
This allows certificate based authentication to work.
