SSH: Work around issue with dynamic_cast.
It has been observed that on MacOs, a dynamic_cast from Botan::Public_Key to Botan::RSA_PublicKey reproducibly fails even though it should definitely succeed. This happens with both gcc and clang on different Macs, but on no other platform. The problem could not be reproduced with an example project. The workaround is to move the allocation of the respective object from the client side to the Botan library itself. In addition, the following actions were taken to guard against similar problems in the future: - Also move to Botan the allocations of all other objects that are potentially dynamically cast. - Use shared pointers for these objects, so the deallocation also happens inside Botan.
