ssh/agent: preserve constraint extensions when adding keys

The client Add method only serialized the lifetime and confirm
constraints and silently dropped AddedKey.ConstraintExtensions before
sending the SSH_AGENTC_ADD_IDENTITY request. As a result the remote
agent always received the key with no extension constraints, regardless
of what the caller requested.

Applications that add a key believing custom constraint extensions
(such as restrict-destination-v00@openssh.com) would be enforced
instead loaded a completely unrestricted key into the agent. For
example, an administrator forwarding their agent into an untrusted jump
host and trying to limit the forwarded key with restrict-destination
never had that restriction reach the agent: any user or compromised
process on that host could make the agent sign arbitrary challenges.

Serialize each entry in key.ConstraintExtensions as an
agentConstrainExtension constraint so the constraints reach the agent,
and add a round-trip regression test that verifies the extensions
survive client serialization and server parsing.

This issue was found during a security audit by NCC Group Cryptography
Services, sponsored by Teleport.
