commit 83e7624292232562639d13f76d84126e6779e54b

    Ticket #3921: Enable keyboard interactive authentication
    
    If SSH server does not support cleartext tunneled password
    authentication and only 'keyboard interactive' authentication
    instead, then we need to use different authentication
    function along with a interactive callback.
