While looking for leaks I came across two old packet APIs which are easy
to remove. I'm sending patches for each separately.
First, there is the packet_set_connection(int fd_in, int fd_out)
function in opacket.c
The function relies on a behavior in ssh_packet_set_connection() where,
when it is passed a NULL pointer, it will implicitely allocate a struct
ssh and return it after then set the fds in it.
sshd.c appears to be the only place where the API is still used, so we
can place that sequence there. sshd.c calls the old function only once
during initialization (in main()) so it does appear to arrive there
while active_state is still NULL.
So when called with active_state==NULL, essentially the old function is
roughly equivalent to:
struct *ssh = ssh_alloc_session_state();
ssh_packet_set_connection(ssh, fd_in, fd_out)
active_state = ssh;
ssh.c handles this in a similar way. It calls
ssh_alloc_session_state_state directly then setting the active_state
pointer with the result (ssh.c line 2113).
When doing this in sshd.c too, which I think is pretty straightforward,
the packet_set_connection() will become obsolete.
