Lift limitation on ssh aliases

[dangom]

"It is important to remember that remote_host must be a real host name or an IP address. SSH aliases not allowed to be used with anaconda-mode."

Why is this the case and how to make anaconda-mode work with SSH aliases?

[cartesian-theatrics]

managed to get it working with this change:

                (sleep-for anaconda-mode-tunnel-setup-sleep)

Not sure how robust it is.

Note, I also had to patch pythonic-remote-ssh-p to also check for sshx.
