Summary: Added -F configfile option to check_by_ssh

Initial Comment:
This patch adds a new option to check_by_ssh.

Example Commandline:
./check_by_ssh -F ~/.ssh/config -H localhost -C /bin/true

Patch is against:
%>./plugins/check_by_ssh -V
check_by_ssh vtrunk.2272.dirty (nagios-plugins 1.4.14)

The new -F option is directly passed through to ssh.
>From the ssh man page:
-F configfile
Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file.  If a configuration file is given on the command line, the system-wide configuration file
 (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) will be ignored.  The default for the per-user configuration file is ~/.ssh/config.

With such a config file, you dont have to add multiple -o options to check_by_ssh. And you can maintain your ssh configuration from one place.

I would be happy to see this patch applied. (2 new tests are included)
