Error: Struct PublicKey is private

When trying to compile the code, I'm getting an error message indicating that the PublicKey struct is private. The error message is:

error[E0603]: struct `PublicKey` is private

Solution: Use correct namespace for PublicKey

The issue is caused by using the incorrect namespace for the PublicKey struct. To fix this, we need to use the correct namespace ssh_key::public instead of key.

Change the line:

async fn check_server_key(&mut self, server_public_key: &key::PublicKey) -> Result<bool, Self::Error> {

to:

async fn check_server_key(&mut self, server_public_key: &ssh_key::public::PublicKey) -> Result<bool, Self::Error> {

Making this change did solve the problem and compilation was a success. Hope this helps anyone compiling from source.
