Fixes and improvements

• Encrypted private key files no longer require PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE to be set in the environment. The passphrase can now be read from private_key_file_pwd (the name used by snowflake-connector-python) or private_key_passphrase in connections.toml / config.toml. The PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE environment variable continues to take precedence when set. This also fixes a regression in 3.17.0 where commands using key-pair authentication with private_key_passphrase in connections.toml failed with argument 'password': Cannot convert "<class 'str'>" instance to a buffer.
