x/crypto/ssh: doesn't support ed25519 keys

[gopherbot]

by h3g3m0n:

ed25519 keys are supported on newer version of OpenSSH.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519

There is a ed25519 implementation available here:
https://github.com/agl/ed25519/

Although it doesn't have a license.

go version go1.3 linux/amd64

Is using cgo to bridge to native C code an option? If so, the original code written in C doesn't require a libc to be available at all. It could be easily used, see for example https://github.com/mildred/ed25519
