Since no one apparently uses it, let's just remove it. I'm something of
a curl power user and did not know it even had SSH support!
In the mean time, if curl is the only "heavy" user of libssh2, we
can give it a non-public or hidden libssh2 package that stays on version
1.8.0 to avoid the graft. WDYT?
