Research direction

Start with build.sh and inspect how the USE_SSH setting is handled for the libgit2 build. Compare the available SSH backends with libgit2 v1.8.0's OpenSSH support; done means pygit2 builds with OpenSSH enabled and the setting is reflected in the project configuration.

Description

Hey,

libgit v1.8.0 introduced OpenSSH support.
This allows libgit to automatically find ssh keys and respect the ssh config which libssh2 does not (see https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/5640).

Are there any plans on enabling OpenSSH support in pygit2?

In my mind this is as simple as setting $USE_SSH="exec" in build.sh.

Thank you
