[PATCH v5 3/7] virnetsocket: improve search for default SSH key

[Pino Toscano <ptoscano@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a couple of helper functions to check whether one of the default
names of SSH keys (as documented in ssh-keygen(1)) exists, and use them
to specify a key for the libssh2 transport if none was passed.
