Description

Aggregate and use SftpSession in SftpServer, along with SftpMessage, replacing obsolete direct dependencies:

  • directly owned SSHSession
  • reliance on a concrete PlainSSHProcess (via cast)
  • raw libssh SFTP and SSH session structs
  • raw SFTP client messages

This provides for a clearer separation of concerns. It makes the SftpServer depend only on the base SSH and SFTP abstractions (not the Plain implementations), which can be mocked for testing.

After this is done, the SftpServer class is freed from low-level management of SSHSessions and processes and it should no longer depend on libssh directly. As a bonus, this also fixes a bogus SSHFS health check and SSHFS process channel leaks.
