Description
Problem statement
Win32-OpenSSH introduced FIDO support in V8.9.0.0.
ssh-add -K is supposed to "Load resident keys from a FIDO authenticator".
Win32-OpenSSH currently doesn't support this option.
Work around
Download the keys using ssh-keygen.exe -K.
ssh-keygen -K requires direct communication with the FIDO token, so it needs to be issued from an elevated prompt.

Research direction
Begin with the existing ssh-add -K behavior and compare it with the documented ssh-keygen -K workaround; the issue provides no source file or test entry point. Done means Win32-OpenSSH's ssh-add can load resident keys from a FIDO authenticator without requiring the workaround.
