0e90841a18 Forward ssh-agent data between ssh-agent and RDP
Add the sshagent plugin to forward the ssh-agent protocol over an RDP
dynamic virtual channel, just as the normal ssh-agent forwards it over
an SSH channel.  Add the "/ssh-agent" command line option to enable it.
Usage:

Run FreeRDP with the ssh-agent plugin enabled:

   xfreerdp /ssh-agent ...

In the remote desktop session run xrdp-ssh-agent and evaluate the output
in the shell as for ssh-agent to set the required environment variables
(specifically $SSH_AUTH_SOCK):

   eval "$(xrdp-ssh-agent -s)"

This is the same as for the normal ssh-agent.  You would typically do
this in your Xsession or /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh.

Limitations:

1. Error checking and handling could be improved.

2. This is only tested on Linux and will only work on systems where
clients talk to the ssh-agent via Unix domain sockets.  It won't
currently work on Windows but it could be ported.
