SSH client: a terminal on another machine (#2)

The SSH App opens one session to a shell, over libssh (LibSSH-ESP32 5.10.0)
on mbedTLS. A server is trusted the first time on its fingerprint, and a
changed key is a warning with Cancel selected. The password is typed each
time and kept nowhere; or the device makes itself an Ed25519 key, whose
public half is shown, written to /ssh/id_ed25519.pub and printed by
`ssh status`.

lib/term is the terminal: what a shell, less, top, nano and vim send, with
sixteen colours, scroll regions, the alternate screen and 100 lines of
scrollback. Five text sizes with Ctrl and + or -, from 60x20 to 26x8, told
to the far end. The session goes on when the App is left; SSH shows in the
Status Bar. `ssh user@host` in the Shell opens the App.

Also:
- Keys that aren't characters carry Shift, Ctrl and Alt. The terminal needs
  it, and it makes Ctrl+Fn+up/down in a note and Shift+Tab in Gemini work
  from the real keyboard.
- IRC doesn't try to connect under 60 KB free: started with a session open,
  its TLS handshake took the heap down to 236 bytes.
- libssh's own curve25519 is left out of the build (scripts/libssh_filter.py):
  libsodium's has the same names.

Costs 292 KB of flash and about 50 KB of heap while a session is open; not
started under 75 KB free.

Docs: guide page, how-to, FAQ, home page, Status Bar, SD card folders, the
memory how-to, README, glossary, N1 notes with Q254 to Q266 and the checks.

 **A note can be any size** (issue #47): the editor keeps a window of about 8 KB around the cursor in memory and the rest on the card, so a megabyte opens as fast as a line and uses the same 17 KB. Up to 64 KB a save rewrites the file. Above, the five-second save writes only what changed to a side file, `<note>.edit`, and the file itself is rewritten when the note is left, with a progress bar (about 450 KB a second). After a power cut, opening the note picks the edit up where it was saved. Saving needs room on the card for a second copy. The Storage App's text viewer has `e` to edit a file with the same editor, anywhere on the card, unless the file is read-only.
 
+## SSH
+
+The SSH App (docs/milestones/N1.md, issue #2) is a terminal on another machine: one session to a shell, over libssh (`ewpa/LibSSH-ESP32`) on mbedTLS. `user@host[:port]`, typed in the App or as `ssh user@host` in the Shell; up to eight hosts are remembered. **A server is trusted the first time, on its fingerprint, and a changed key is a warning** whose selected answer is Cancel. **The password is typed each time and kept nowhere;** or the device makes itself an Ed25519 key (kept in the device, never shown, no passphrase) whose public half is shown, written to `/ssh/id_ed25519.pub` and printed by `ssh status`, for a server's `authorized_keys`.
+
+The terminal (`lib/term`, host-tested) understands what a shell, `less`, `top`, `nano` and `vim` send: the cursor, erasing, sixteen colours, scroll regions, the alternate screen; no mouse. Five text sizes with Ctrl and + or -, from 60 x 20 to 26 x 8, told to the far end; 100 lines of scrollback with Alt and up or down. The backtick key sends Esc. **Leaving the App doesn't end the session:** `SSH` shows in the Status Bar and the App finds it again. It costs 292 KB of flash (109 KB of it one table, for signing with the device's key) and about 50 KB of memory while a session is open, so it isn't started under 75 KB free and IRC doesn't connect while one is open.

 ## VPN
 
 A WireGuard tunnel (docs/milestones/N1.md), over whatever Wi-Fi the device is on: one peer, IPv4. Copy a client's `.conf` to the card as `/vpn/wg0.conf` and import it in Settings > VPN (or `vpn import`); the configuration, private key included, is then kept in the device and never shown, and Settings offers to delete the file. A switch brings the tunnel up until the next restart; "Start with Wi-Fi" does it every time. It waits for the clock, which WireGuard needs. `VPN` shows in the Status Bar, bright once the server has answered.

 ## Shell
 
-The Shell App (docs/milestones/S1.md) runs the commands below on the device's own screen and keyboard: no PC, no cable, no Wi-Fi. **It shows the replies to its own commands and nothing else**: the console knows who each line is printed for, so a listing read by another task a moment later is still the Shell's, and what USB or the Debug Console asked for is not. Ctrl+b shows everything instead. Tab completes a command word by word (`lora st` gives `lora status`) and, past it, a path on the SD card (`ls /no` gives `ls /notes/`), Fn with up and down recalls earlier lines, Alt with up and down scrolls back. **An App's name with a capital opens it** (`Notes`, `Irc`, `Wifi`, `Gnss`, `Gemini`, `Lora`, `Storage`, `System`, `Settings`), from the consoles too. `rm` is Unix's, with a question: a folder needs `-r`; a file, or a folder with something in it, is asked about unless `-f` (`rm -rf`); an empty folder goes without a word. `*` and `?` in a name stand for several files (`rm /notes/*.txt` asks once, with the count; 64 at most). `clear` empties the screen and `quit` leaves. It is trusted like the USB port: `debug on` and `debug token` work from it. It uses about 7 KB of memory while it is open, and none otherwise. **For the network:** `ping`, `nslookup`, `port`, `traceroute`, `tls`, `ntp`, `ifconfig`, `arp` and `netstat` (issue #90).
