Unfortunately libssh2 doesn't support all types of host keys that can be saved in the known_hosts file. Also it does not report that parsing of the file failed. This results into truncated known_hosts files where the standard client stores keys also in other formats (eg. ecdsa-sha2-nistp256).
This patch changes the default location of the known_hosts file into the libvirt private configuration directory, where it will be only written by the libssh2 layer itself. This prevents thrashing user's files.
