Test auto platform detection for Remote-SSH

Refs: #25

• macOS @rebornix
• linux @RMacfarlane
• windows @chrmarti

Complexity: 3

Test machines available:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-internalbacklog/issues/700

• Install the nightly SSH extension
• Set "remote.SSH.useLocalServer": true
• If you had previously set remote.SSH.windowsRemotes, get rid of it
• Test connecting to the linux remote and the windows remote, just verify that it connected successfully (and that it connected to real windows, not WSL)

@roblourens The Windows test box does not have a SSH server running at the moment.

Also: On my current Windows install, the ssh CLI does not pick up my .ssh/config anymore. Any idea why that would be?

[chrmarti]

Not sure what went wrong, but the ssh config is being picked up again. The Windows box looks like it is being worked on to get sshd running. I'll defer testing until this is done.

[roblourens]

Oh crap, sorry, I had taken it down to debug something. I just started it up again.

Also, I had to start it on a non-standard port, because I think the connection I'm on right now is blocking port 22. Added that to the issue, make sure you copy that config line.

[RMacfarlane]

The first time I tried to connect to the Windows box, it timed out. I hit retry without copying any details from the output channel, and it's now connecting to both machines perfectly. So I think this was just a transient problem, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

[rebornix]

I tested with the VM created by @roblourens and they worked just fine. However when I try to connect to my own Windows box, it always timeouts. I can ssh to it so not sure why it can't finish launching the server.

@rebornix please file an issue with the log

@roblourens thanks, here it is #2262

Set "remote.SSH.useLocalServer": true

@roblourens Should we mention this setting in docs and the README to avoid confusion?
