ssh: Replace cockpit-ssh with cockpit.beiboot
cockpit.beiboot has feature parity with cockpit-ssh. Entirely stop building and shipping cockpit-ssh with the pybridge, and use cockpit.beiboot by default for direct remote SSH logins from the login page. This gets rid of the libssh build dependency.
Drop the Provides: cockpit-ssh from Debian. No package ever related to
that virtual package name, and it's meaningless these days.
Change ws' detection of remote login availability to type cockpit-bridge
with the pybridge, as the existence of cockpit-ssh is not relevant any
more. This is much cheaper than actually trying to run the bridge with
--version or call Python to check the module. We still need to do
this, as a system could only have the cockpit-ws package installed
but not cockpit-bridge.

- [ ] docs, selinux policy, comments, etc. --
git grep cockpit-ssh - [ ] Drop testLoginSshBeiboot, ensure all failure scenarios are included in other tests
- [ ] Figure out a new mechanism to disable beiboot functionality from distro packages (until we devise a new policy), and add a test for that
