ssh-agent: autoload identities not already loaded (#7174)
With this PR the ssh-agent plugin checks the `ssh-add -l` output for the
identities added, and adds all those specified by the user that haven't been
added yet.

We also decouple the logic of starting ssh-agent from the logic of adding
identities, meaning that even if ssh-agent has been started by some other means
(like launchd) we can still ssh-add the user's identities.

Fixes #3019

ssh-agent plugin

This plugin starts automatically ssh-agent to set up and load whichever credentials you want for ssh connections.

To enable it, add ssh-agent to your plugins:

plugins=(... ssh-agent)

Instructions

IMPORTANT: put these settings before the line that sources oh-my-zsh

To enable agent forwarding support add the following to your zshrc file:

zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent agent-forwarding on

To load multiple identities use the identities style, For example:

zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent identities id_rsa id_rsa2 id_github

To set the maximum lifetime of the identities, use the lifetime style. The lifetime may be specified in seconds or as described in sshd_config(5) (see TIME FORMATS). If left unspecified, the default lifetime is forever.

zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent lifetime 4h
