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.
