    Log Message:
    Add missing NULL checks on malloc() in ssh_connect()

    conn_api.rd_buf and conn_api.wr_buf were allocated with malloc() but
    never checked for failure. The I/O threads started immediately after
    would dereference the NULL pointers and crash. Other connection types (conn_pty.c, conn_conpty.c, modem.c, rlogin.c) already had these
    checks; ssh.c was an oversight.

    The error paths also free(pubkey), which is either a valid allocation
    from get_public_key() or the initial NULL — both safe for free().

    Add missing create_conn_buf() error checks in ssh.c

    Check return values and clean up on failure, matching the pattern
    used by all other connection providers (rlogin, telnet, modem, pty,
    conpty).

    SyncTERM: send TERM environment variable on SSH channel

    Add an SSH "env" request (RFC 4254 §6.4) alongside the existing pty-req
    TERM, so servers that read TERM from the environment (rather than from
    the pty allocation) pick up SyncTERM's emulation string.

    Log Message:
    SyncTERM: warn the user about weak SSH host keys

    Treat any RSA-family host key under 2048 bits as weak (NIST 2024 floor;
    Ed25519 is always 256 and considered strong). The host-key verify
    callback now stashes the algorithm name and key size so the post-
    handshake UI can act on it:

    - HOSTKEY_NEW + weak: prompt "Weak host key (NNNN-bit algo)" with a
    Disconnect/Accept choice instead of silent TOFU. Under hidepopups
    (no human present) refuse the connection rather than auto-trust a
    weak key.
    - HOSTKEY_MISMATCH + weak: existing change-fingerprint dialog grows a
    "WARNING: the new key is a NNNN-bit algo, below the 2048-bit safety
    floor" block, and the title itself becomes "Fingerprint Changed —
    WEAK NNNN-bit algo key" so the warning is visible without F1.
    - Strong keys: behaviour unchanged (NEW silently TOFU's, MISMATCH
    uses the original dialog).

    SyncTERM: display SSH auth banners (RFC 4252 §5.4)

    Wire DeuceSSH's per-session banner callback to uifc.showbuf().
    Each SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_BANNER from the server is shown modally as it
    arrives during authentication; auth resumes when the user dismisses.
    Skipped under bbs->hidepopups (automated sessions with no human to
    read the banner).

    I need to rename that option.
