Austin Kiekintveld 8e7804273c Defer to SSH config files for ForwardAgent option
Currently, Nix passes `-a` when it runs commands on a remote machine via
SSH, which disables agent forwarding. This causes issues when the
`ForwardAgent` option is set in SSH config files, as the command line
operation always overrides those.

In particular, this causes issues if the command being run is `sudo`
and the remote machine is configured with the equivalent of NixOS's
`security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` option. Not allowing SSH agent
forwarding can cause authentication to fail unexpectedly.

This can currently be worked around by setting `NIX_SSHOPTS="-A"`, but
we should defer to the options in the SSH config files to be least
surprising for users.
