ssh: make the public key cache a 1-entry FIFO cache

Users of the the ssh package seem to extremely commonly misuse the
PublicKeyCallback API, assuming that the key passed in the last call
before a connection is established is the key used for authentication.
Some users then make authorization decisions based on this key. This
property is not documented, and may not be correct, due to the caching
behavior of the package, resulting in users making incorrect
authorization decisions about the connection.

This change makes the cache a one entry FIFO cache, making the assumed
property, that the last call to PublicKeyCallback represents the key
actually used for authentication, actually hold.

Thanks to Damien Tournoud, Patrick Dawkins, Vince Parker, and
Jules Duvivier from the Platform.sh / Upsun engineering team
for reporting this issue.
