mandos-keygen: Generate "checker" option to use SSH fingerprints.

To turn this off, use a new "--no-ssh" option to mandos-keygen.

* INSTALL (Mandos Server, Mandos Client): Document new suggested
                                          installation of SSH.
* Makefile (confdir/clients.conf): Use new "--no-ssh" option to
                                   "mandos-keygen".
* debian/control (mandos/Depends): Changed to "fping | ssh-client".
  (mandos-client/Recommends): New; set to "ssh".
* intro.xml (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS): Rename and rewrite section
                                          called "Faking ping
                                          replies?" to address new
                                          default behavior.
* mandos-clients.conf.xml (OPTIONS/checker): Briefly discuss new
                                             behavior of
                                             mandos-keygen.
* mandos-keygen: Bug fix: Suppress failure output of "shred" to remove
                 "sec*", since no such files may exist.
 (password mode): Scan for SSH key fingerprints and output as new
                  "checker" and "ssh_fingerprint" options, unless new
                  "--no-ssh" option is given.
* mandos-keygen.xml (SYNOPSIS/--force): Bug fix: Document short form.
  (OPTIONS/--no-ssh): New.
  (SEE ALSO): Add reference "ssh-keyscan(1)".
* plugins.d/mandos-client.xml (SECURITY): Briefly mention the
                                          possibility of using SSH key
                                          fingerprints for checking.

            Specifies a PEM-encoded PKCS#3 file to read the parameters
338
 
            needed by the TLS Diffie-Hellman key exchange from.  If
339
 
            this option is not given, or if the file for some reason
340
 
            could not be used, the parameters will be generated on
341
 
            startup, which will take some time and processing power.
342
 
            Those using servers running under time, power or processor

314
            TLS Diffie-Hellman key exchange.  Default is 1024.
