Patch to implement the feature

Hi,

I submitted this a few weeks ago to the mailing list but got no
response so I resent it and am putting it here so it doesn't get lost.

This patch implements SSH2_FXF_APPEND in the sftp server.  It is a
fairly trivial patch and applies against the proper OpenSSH and the
Portable edition.  I would argue that it is important for OpenSSH to
implement SSH2_FXF_APPEND since it is in the spec and clients who
expect
it to work find that their files are overwritten rather than appended
to.
