repo should automatically use SSH ControlMaster when possible

Source: JIRA REPO-11

OpenSSH on UNIX platforms can support multiplexing multiple ssh connections
onto a single TCP stream, saving the startup and teardown costs.

For applications like repo, fetching 120+ projects over SSH require forking
120+ ssh clients, probably all pointing at the same server.  Most of the time
is spent starting the SSH connection.  By using a ControlMaster connection
opened ahead of time these 120+ connections can send all of their data through
an existing stream, significantly reducing the wall-clock time required for a
no-op "repo sync".
