please support kerberos authentication

Using OpenSSH I can directly login to other machines because of Kerberos authentication (user name is enough). It would be nice to be able to do the same with pony-ssh as this removes the current need for an SSH agent running.

It looks like the SSH library which Pony SSH uses (along with just about everything else in the VSCode ecosystem) doesn't support Kerberos / GSSAPI auth.

Before it could be added to PonySSH, we'd have to create that functionality in a PR to the SSH2 repository. That's a larger project than I can commit to tackling right now, I'm afraid.
