feat: ssh: forward the agent to a server's terminal sessions - #1942
Agent forwarding (ForwardAgent) for #1262, per server and off by default; terminal sessions only, each channel on its own agent connection bound to the session.
iOS / macOS / Windows manual builds not needed: lib/, test/ and a pure-Dart submodule bump.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added an SSH agent forwarding option to server settings, disabled by default. When enabled, the configured agent can be used from remote shell sessions and commands.
SSH configuration can enable forwarding with ForwardAgent settings, provided it matches the configured identity agent.
Documentation
Added guidance on agent forwarding and its security implications, including that a remote root user may be able to sign with forwarded keys.

Walkthrough
The change adds SSH agent forwarding to SSH credentials and server editing. It parses ForwardAgent in SSH configuration, stores the setting in the database, and configures SSH clients and channels to use agent connections for forwarding.
Adds forwardAgent to SSH credentials and JSON conversion. SSH config parsing maps ForwardAgent values to the setting. The server editor displays and saves a forwarding switch when agent support is available. Localizations, documentation, and tests cover the option.
Adds the ssh_forward_agent database column and schema migration, then maps the stored value to and from SSH credentials. Migration tests cover existing schemas, defaults, idempotency, and value round trips.
Changes agent setup to use a connected agent client and a connector for forwarding. SSH clients configure identityAgent and forwardAgent; shell and command calls request forwarding. Tests cover agent connections, forwarding, and unavailable-agent fallback.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review a037a
Production behavior is unaffected. A new unit test can fail on Windows machines where HOME is unset, so make it environment-independent before merge.

Review comments at @lib/core/ssh/config.dart:
- Around line 236-237: Update the comparison between value and own, where own is
derived from identityAgent or SshCredential.authSock, to resolve both socket
references using the same host context before comparing them. Treat equivalent
paths such as a home-relative IdentityAgent path and its absolute ForwardAgent
path as the same socket, while keeping forwarding disabled when the resolved
paths differ.

[low] 431-431: Detected a potential hardcoded password literal, which may expose account credentials. The same value appears in 1 other place in this change. Classified as not a credential.
The new dependency handles the no-callback state. A session that requests forwarding with no forwardAgent callback sends no agent-forwarding request, and its channel setup continues normally. The claim that opening a terminal or command channel could fail is not supported.

Remove the test's dependency on HOME.
The spelled case relies on the host environment. ${HOME} reads HOME directly. A bare ~ and %d read the home path that _homePath derives from USERPROFILE on Windows. When HOME is unset on Windows, this ForwardAgent value resolves to null. The IdentityAgent still resolves, so the 'spelled': true assertion fails.
Use %d for the cross-platform case. It uses the same home path as ~. Cover ${HOME} in a separate test that passes an explicit environment map to SSHConfig.expandIdentityAgent.
IMPORTANT
Review the replacement and indentation, then test before committing.
