process_input takes input from the network and queues it using
packet_process_incoming().

For SSH protocol 1, it also reads the stderr and stdout data - SSH1 only
allows a single shell/program/subsys session, whereas SSH2 allows
multiple.

For SSH protocol 2, data to/from the client is handled through the
channels code. E.g. channel_after_select() -> channel_handler ->
channel_handle_rfd, this same mechanism is used to write data to/from
the session (and port forwardings).

process_buffered_input_packets just processes any packets from the
network that have been queued.
