ssh: Add profile option
To enable the ssh daemon to run in a virtualized environment, where there can be more that one server that has the same ip-address and port, we add a new option profile. The profile name will be used in concatenation with ip-address and port to identify the ssh daemon instance. The name profile was chosen as there is a similar concept in the HTTP client in inets where profile names can be used to instantiate client configurations. Also the same type of option has been added to the HTTP server in inets.
