libgit2 for Visual Studio 2015 ssh public/private key enabler

This patch for 'libgit2' allows usage of SSH public/private keys pair with ssh repositories (such as gitolite) in Visual Studio 2015. Key-pair can be produced by ssh-keygen utility included in "Git For Windows" toolset. Fork uses keys stored in %USERPROFILE%.ssh folder.

Compilation instructions are described in http://randomswdev.blogspot.it/2015/07/adding-ssh-support-to-visual-studio.html

in short:

• obtain cmake 3.3.0, python 2.7.10, libssh2 1.6.0
• unpack libgit2-src.zip from VisualStudio2015 destination folder.
• perform:

  cd c:\dev\libgit2
  mkdir build && cd build
  cmake -DEMBED_SSH_PATH=C:/dev/libssh2 -DSTDCALL=ON ..

Above instructions allows generic SSH usage, and following patching command establishes %USERPROFILE%.ssh\id_rsa file support.
