ssh: reject unencrypted keys from ParsePrivateKeyWithPassphrase

The behavior of ParsePrivateKeyWithPassphrase when the key is
unencrypted is unspecified. Currently, it just parses them like
ParsePrivateKey, which is unlikely to be what anyone wants: for us to
ignore a passphrase that they explicitly passed. It also makes the
implementation of encrypted OpenSSH keys in the next CL more confused.

Instead, make ParsePrivateKey return a PassphraseNeededError, so the
application logic can be ParsePrivateKey -> detect encrypted key ->
obtain passphrase -> ParsePrivateKeyWithPassphrase. That error will also
let us return the public key for OpenSSH keys.
