Title: Support transmission of environment variables

The SSH protocol allows the client to transmit environment variables to
the server. This is particularly useful if the user wants to modify the
environment of an executed command without having to reexecute the
actual command from a shell.

This patch extends the Client and Channel interface to allow
the transmission of environment variables to the server side.

In order to use this feature the SSH server must accept environment
variables from the client (e.g. the AcceptEnv configuration directive of
OpenSSH).
