Description
### Description
Implement `ChannelTimeouts` as available in OpenSSH since version 9.2: compare [OpenSSH issue 3484](https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3484)
### Motivation
Currently, an Apache MINA sshd server keeps channels open as long as the client doesn't close it and the session is open. Badly behaved clients a might never close their channels.
With the `ChannelTimeouts` feature (available in OpenSSH since version 9.2), a server can mitigate this by imposing a maximum life-time for idle channels.
