This is mainly to deal with darcs get --disable-ssh-cm

The fact that this patch exists could mean one of the following

1) nobody up to now has every tried darcs get on ssh without
   public key authentication or control master (which sounds
   suspicious)
2) sftp has changed recently
3) not using stdin was a well-intentioned regression
   from some previous patch
4) something weird is going on

  * Extend runSSH function to accept argument for stdin.

  * Read sftp batch file in from stdin (part of issue237).
  
  Passing the batch file in from stdin allows for sftp to be used with
  password-based authentication.  According to the sftp user manual regarding
  the -b switch:
    Since it lacks user interaction it should be
    used in conjunction with non-interactive authentication
  
  Credit for this idea goes to Ori Avtalion.
