This uses openssh 9.4's -W support for AF_UNIX. Unfortunately older versions
don't work with this, and I couldn#t figure a way that would work for
older versions too, would not be racy and where we'd still could keep
track of the forked off ssh process.
Unfortunately, on older versions -W will just hang (because it tries to
resolve the AF_UNIX path as regular host name), which sucks, but hopefully this
issue will go away sooner or later on its own, as distributions update.
Fedora is still stuck at 9.3 at the time of posting this (even on
Fedora), even though 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 have all already been released by
now.
Example:
varlinkctl call -j ssh:root@somehost:/run/systemd/io.systemd.Credentials io.systemd.Credentials.Encrypt '{"text":"foobar"}'
