webapp: Better ssh password prompting.

When setting up a remote on a ssh server, prompt for a password inside the
webapp, rather than relying on ssh's own password prompting in the terminal
the webapp was started from, or ssh-askpass.

Avoids double prompting for the ssh password (and triple-prompting on
windows for rsync.net), since the entered password is cached for 10 minutes
and this cached password is reused when setting up the repository, after
the initial probe.

When the user has an existing ssh key set up, they can choose to use it,
rather than entering a password. The webapp used to probe for this case
automatically, so this is a little harder, but it's an advanced user thing.

Note that this commit is known to break enabling existing rsync
repositories. It hs not been tested with gcrypt repositories. It's not been
successfully tested yet on Windows.

This commit was sponsored by Ralph Mayer.

+which gets the password from the webapp, and outputs it to stdout. **done**
 
 Seems to call for the webapp and program to communicate over a local
 socket (locked down so only user can access) or environment.
 Environment is not as secure (easily snooped by root).
 Local socket probably won't work on Windows. Could just use a temp file.
 
+(Currently uses a temp file with locked down perms that it's careful
+to clean up after use.)
+
 Note that the webapp can probe to see if ssh needs a password, and can
 prompt the user for it before running ssh and the ssh-askpass shim.
 This avoids some complexity, and perhaps some attack vectors,
 if the shim cannot requst an arbitrary password prompt.
+(This complexity not needed with the temp file approach..)
