Persist and idletimeout combined

This combines the controlpersist keyword with the controltimeout and
idletimeout keywords.

See bug #1338 for more info on the idletimeout patch.

With this patch, you can ssh/scp/sftp to a host, interact with it, and
then when you disconnect, the connection will daemonize and stay alive
until you haven't used the connection for a predetermined time.

Example:

ssh -o ControlPath=/tmp/ssh-$USER-%h:%p -o ControlMaster=auto -o
ControlPersist=yes -o ControlTimeout=5m someserver


I cleaned up the patch from #1338 some more, now that I understand the
code better. I think the patch is now done.
