ssh: Add host fingerprint matching

Added fingerprint matching to host functionality replacing the old
matching on ip with nc idea.
Functions essentially the same, only that now if another host
randomly/or targeted replaces the original checking target you will
still not try to be connected since the ssh fingerprint will not match.
Should make it a teensy bit more secure.

# Takes 2 arguments: a hostname and an ssh fingerprint
# Retrieves all fingerprints from hostname and compares
# to see if the fingerprint passed in is part of them.
# If it is, returns true; if not, false.
# Can be used for more secure matching on hostname availability
# in sshconfig than e.g. nc ip matching.
#
# To find your keys fingerprint, one option is just connecting
# via `ssh -v` and looking for the fingerprint there.
