distbuild: Disable strict SSH host key checking
Although we scan the keys of the Trove, we can only do this for the exact hostname specified in TROVE_HOST. If the definitions being built point to repos in the Trove using an SSH URL but with a different hostname (e.g. as an IP address, or a differently qualified hostname) then the distbuild will fail with a fairly opaque error: ERROR: Build of xx failed: ERROR: Failed to update cached version of repo ssh://git@.../xxx Currently we expect distbuild to be deployed on a trusted private network, so this change doesn't make it less secure. However, it would be a problem in future if we want distbuild networks connecting to their Trove across a public, untrusted network. Change-Id: I6cf8b318cab8985e811b5ee5ac29df225b62270d
