counsel-ag doesn't work with TRAMP

[bricewge]

For example doing counsel-ag with a buffer containing the file/ssh:myserver:/etc/apt/sources.list will result on a search on /home/username/ on the localhost machine. This also appear when the buffer display a file opened as sudo on the localhost.

The expected behaviour would be to search from the opened file on the remote machine if ag is installed or as sudo if the file was openned as sudo.

Does ag even work on a remote machine?

[bricewge]

I don't thinks so. But it shouldn't be an issue since TRAMP give the ability to run commands on the remote box.
It looks like this behaviour is already present in ag.el.

Please test, ag needs to be installed on the remote box.
