  • Add --use_agent CLI flag to skip key/password prompts and use SSH agent
  • When --use_agent is set and both --key and --password are omitted, paramiko uses agent keys
  • Agent authentication delegates key selection to the SSH agent

Note: I found that when allowing paramiko.client to search for existing keys on the ssh agent, I had to allow the rsa-sha2 algorithms. This patch makes the workflow for connecting to my remarkable2 simpler, and I confirmed it works there, but I don't know why these public key algorithms were disabled by default, which is my only hesitation with making this pull request.
