git allows you to set which paths to use for the git server programs
when connecting over ssh; and we want to provide something similar.

We do this by providing a factory function which can be set as the
remote's transport callback which will set the given paths upon
creation.

ssh: libssh2_channel_write() behaves like send()

When the stream writing function was written, it assume that
libssh2_channel_write() would always write all of the data to the
wire. This is only true for the first 32k of data, which it tries to
fit into one ssh packet.

Since it can perform short writes, call it in a loop like we do for
send(), advancing the buffer offset.

We want to check whether the credentials callback is NULL, not whether
the payload is.

Whe already worked out the kinks with the function used in the local
transport. Expose it and make use of it in the local clone method
instead of trying to work it out again.

We have too many places where we repeat free code, so when adding the
new free to the generic code, it didn't take for the local transport.

While there, fix a C99-ism that sneaked through.
