Changed Private Key Regex to be more tolerant regarding new lines at end of key file #1344

SSH.NET so far threw an unhelpful error message regarding an invalid key file if there was a new line between the key data and the end line. The changed regex now allows zero or one empty line.

This is now allowed

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Just curious, do you know how the key was generated?

Not really it was a key handed down to me from another department. I would not discard the possibility that someone meddled with it to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
