This patch adds an extra no_tty=1 flag to the connection URI. This
stops ssh from asking for a password if it can't log in automatically.
Typical use-case for this is in graphical programs where if ssh asks for
a password it would cause the GUI program to hang.
Example:
$ virsh -c xen+ssh://xxx/ list
rjones@xxx's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
rjones@xxx's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
rjones@xxx's password:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).
libvir: Remote error : Connection reset by peer
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: no valid connection
$ virsh -c xen+ssh://xxx/?no_tty=1 list
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).
libvir: Remote error : Connection reset by peer
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: no valid connection
