Pass client SSH key fingerprint in upstream username

Browse source 
When using public key auth, include the client's key fingerprint
in the upstream username with format: fp:FINGERPRINT.originaluser

This allows upstream servers (like maldoror) to identify users
by their original SSH key even when sshpiper uses its own key
for upstream authentication.
