ssh: Add reference manual page for the ssh_file module
This callback module has the knowledge about the different files used by Erlang/OTP SSH. It was unfortunatly not documented previously.

+ <description>
+ <p>This module is the default callback handler for the client's and the server's user and host "database" operations.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The intention is to be compatible with the OpenSSH storage in files. Therefore it mimics directories and filenames
+ of OpenSSH.
+ </p>
+ <note>
+ <p>The functions are <i>Callbacks</i> for the SSH app. They are not intended to be called from the user's code!
+ </p>
+ </note>

+ <title>Making your own callback module</title>
+ <p>Ssh_file implements the <seealso marker="ssh:ssh_server_key_api">ssh_server_key_api</seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="ssh:ssh_client_key_api">ssh_client_key_api</seealso>.
+ This enables the user to make an own interface using for example a database handler.
+ </p>
+ <p>Such another callback module could be used by setting the option
+ <seealso marker="ssh:ssh#type-key_cb_common_option"><c>key_cb</c></seealso>
+ when starting a client or a server (with for example
+ <seealso marker="ssh:ssh#connect-3">ssh:connect</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="ssh:ssh#daemon-2">ssh:daemon</seealso> of
+ <seealso marker="ssh:ssh#shell-1">ssh:shell</seealso>
