Add certificate support for hostbased authentication

It would be extremely useful to be able to use certificates with
hostbased authentication in environments such as compute clusters.

The attached patch adds this support. If the client has a host
certificate,
it will be used for hostbased authentication. The server will use any
applicable @cert-authority entry in the ssh_known_hosts file to 
validate the cert.
