Added support for posix_spawnp that executes the command directly instead of appending path. (SH_ASKPASS and proxy command use this). Refactored posix spawn commandline building logic to automatically account for Windows CRT escaping rules on all arguments.
Current group membership resolution though very effective, is very slow. In a typical domain joined enterprise machine, adding a simple entry like the following in sshd_config
AllowGroups administrators
will incur a long delay in remote session establishment as sshd tried to pull all groups associated with the domain user.
Changes in this PR optimize the general case scenarios where no wild cards are in use. Specifically rules like this are processed promptly:
AllowGroups group1, group2, group3 //with no wild cards
Match Group group1 //single group with no negation and wild cards
Optimization is done by resolve the groupname in rule immediately to SID and checking its membership against user token. Enumerating the entire group membership is done on a lazy on-demand basis.
Beyond the optimization, there are 2 functional changes
- removed domain prefix for builtin groups
- removed domain prefix'ed versions of local groups since we are strictly following the convention that local principals shouldn't have any domain qualification.
Modified getusergroups() to use s4u tokens to discover nested groups and return them in NetBiosName\GroupName format.
Modified get_passwd() to internally normalize names to NetBiosName\SamAccountName format and changed functions that use it to translate to UPN where necessary.
Removed unnecessary support functions used by previous version of getusergroups().
Various refactoring and function consolidation / simplification.
Addressed several buffer over-read issues.

OpenSSh privilege separation model - http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html
Posix_spawn is implemented in POSIX adapter as an alternative to fork() that is heavily used in Privilege separation.
Additional state info is added to sshd to accommodate distinguishing the various modes (privileged monitor, unprivileged child, authenticated child).
Required service state (like config and host keys) is transmitted over pipes from monitor to child processes.
Changes to installation scripts and tests to accomodate new architectural changes
1. Deploy the key files to separate folder to avoid overwriting.
2. Enable hostkeys and kex unit tests.
3. Generate debug info in pdb
4. minor update on snmprintf
