sshj has intermittent errors doing sftp to Tectia servers

[ahgittin]

When brooklyn (using sshj) tries to copy the script to the target machine, we sometimes encounter:

ERROR net.schmizz.concurrent.Promise - <<sftp / 4>> woke to: net.schmizz.sshj.sftp.SFTPException: EOF while reading packet
Exception in thread "main" net.schmizz.sshj.sftp.SFTPException: EOF while reading packet

The target machine is running Tectia ssh server, so I suspect we are running in to https://github.com/shikhar/sshj/issues/54 .

Options to resolve:

• investigate fixing the problem in sshj
• add ability for Brooklyn to use CLI ssh as an alternative to sshj

Have installed Tectia on an RHEL machine on AWS to reproduce issue and investigating what the underlying sshj issue is
