Authenticating via key file to an ssh server is often preferable to
logging in via password. In order to support this functionality add a
new <identity> xml element for ssh disks that allows the user to specify
a keyfile, username and optional ssh-agent socket location. Example
configuration:
<disk type='network'>
<source protocol='ssh' ...>
<identity keyfile='/path/to/id_rsa' username='myusername'/>
...
</source>
...
</disk>

+ When using an ``ssh`` protocol, this element is used to enable

For disk type ``vhostuser`` configures reconnect timeout if the connection
is lost. It has two mandatory attributes:
