Authenticating via key file to an ssh server is often preferable to
logging in via password. In order to support this functionality add a
new <identity> xml element for ssh disks that allows the user to specify
a keyfile and username. Example configuration:
<disk type='network'>
<source protocol='ssh' ...>
<identity keyfile='/path/to/id_rsa' username='myusername'/>
...
</source>
...
</disk>

For disk type ``vhostuser`` configures reconnect timeout if the connection
is lost. This is set with the two mandatory attributes ``enabled`` and
