Allow user space file locations (rootless support)
Why:
Running dropbear as a user (rootless) is aided if
files and programs can be saved/removed without
needing sudo.
What:
Use the same convention as DROPBEAR_DEFAULT_CLI_AUTHKEY;
if not starting with '/', then is relative to hedge's /home/hedge:
*_PRIV_FILENAME
DROPBEAR_PIDFILE
SFTPSERVER_PATH
default_options.h commentary added.
Changes kept to a minimum, so log entry in svr_kex.c#163
is refactored.
From:
Generated hostkey is <path> ... <finger-print>
to:
Generated hostkey path is <path>
Generated hostkey fingerprint is <fp>
Otherwise the unexpanded path was reported.
