Description
### Description
Implement support for the "no-flow-control" SSH extension, per [RFC 8308](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8308#section-3.3).
### Motivation
This may bring some improvements on networks with high latency.
### Alternatives considered
Growing the window size is an alternative, but requires a global modification on the server side and can not only affect file transfers.
### Additional context

Research direction
Start by reading RFC 8308 section 3.3 and locating Apache MINA SSHD's existing SSH extension negotiation paths. Trace both client- and server-side handling to determine where the no-flow-control extension belongs. Done means the extension is supported according to the RFC and covered by relevant tests, though the issue does not name specific files or tests.
