Description Stef Walter 2014-09-02 09:10:04 UTC 
SSH programs have an awkward way of prompting for passwords via an SSH_ASKPASS environment variable (along with a missing tty). We should provide a nice simple wrapper API for doing this.

gcr: Implement GcrSshAskpass API

This allows calling ssh programs like ssh-add or ssh itself, and
handling the password prompts.
