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.

Testing suggests that at least some browsers (like mozilla) cache
things in a way that prevents the href="#" from reloading anything,
so the button didn't work.
Did not see a quick way to fix this better, so just suggest user reload.
Improved probing the remote server, so it gathers a list of the
capabilities it has. From that list, we can determine which types
of remotes are supported, and display an appropriate UI.
The new buttons for making gcrypt repos don't work yet, but the old buttons
for unencrypted git repo and encrypted rsync repo have been adapted to the
new data types and are working.

Now other repositories can configure special remotes, and when their
configuration has propigated out, they'll appear in the webapp's list of
repositories, with a link to enable them.
Added support for enabling rsync special remotes, and directory special
remotes that are on removable drives. However, encrypted directory special
remotes are not supported yet. The removable drive configuator doesn't
support them yet anyway.
