Make adding ssh keys easier

[rpwoodbu]

One easy way would be to add a button in the UI to add/replace the key, which would pop up a box to paste it into.

Also, consider supporting multiple keys, which is mostly a UI thing.

Nice! What format should the key be in?

It seems that every time I press "Add ssh key" the window is always empty, even after entering a key (of varying formats), clicking save, and then pressing "Add ssh key" again

@reedy The behavior you observe is intentional. The key is saved, but it will not display the key, since it is sensitive. I should make that clearer in the UI.

The format is the same as what you'd find in ~/.ssh/id_rsa. I should also clarify that in the UI.

I have updated the wiki page about ssh authentication with pertinent details. I should add a link to that from the ssh key window.
