Seth Vargo 8ee362744b Break SSH types into their own pages (#3157)
@jefferai and I discussed this on Friday. With three fully-documented
SSH backends, the page is lengthy, ungreppable, and intimidating. This
commit separates the SSH backends into their own pages with as little
text changes as possible.

# SSH Secret Backend
Name: `ssh`
The Vault SSH secret backend provides secure authentication and authorization
for access to machines via the SSH protocol. The Vault SSH backend helps manage
access to machine infrastructure, providing several ways to issue SSH
credentials.
The Vault SSH secret backend supports the following modes. Each mode is
individually documented on its own page.
- [Signed SSH Certificates](/docs/secrets/ssh/signed-ssh-certificates.html)
- [One-time SSH Passwords](/docs/secrets/ssh/one-time-ssh-passwords.html)
- [Dynamic SSH Keys](/docs/secrets/ssh/dynamic-ssh-keys.html) <sup>DEPRECATED</sup>
All guides assume a basic familiarity with the SSH protocol.
## API
The SSH secret backend has a full HTTP API. Please see the
[SSH secret backend API](/api/secret/ssh/index.html) for more
details.
