Description
Maybe I missed it, but it appears that the --ssh option is missing from the python client. This option provides the SSH agent socket or keys from the host to the build. (e.g. docker build --ssh=default ...)
Am I missing something obvious here or is this option not provided?

Research direction
Start by tracing the Python client's build entry point and how build options are translated for the Docker Engine API. Confirm the API's SSH option requirements, then verify that the client accepts an SSH agent socket or key configuration and passes it through during builds.
