Pass prompted message to SSH_ASKPASS command line

Issue: The msg parameter provided to the ssh_askpass function is not forwarded to the command specified by SSH_ASKPASS. This parameter specifies a prompt that should be forwarded as a command line argument to the SSH_ASKPASS-specified command. The logic is correct in the fork-based version but not the posix_spawn-based version of the code.

Fix: Change posix_spawn arguments to include prompt message
