[JENKINS-69264] [ssh-agent] Use SSH Host Key verification strategies from git-client-plugin

https://plugins.jenkins.io/git-client/#plugin-content-ssh-host-key-verification is incredibly useful in pipelines.

The ssh-agent-plugin doesn't take advantage of it however. It would be great if it could. That would reduce the need to inject ~/.ssh/known_hosts for Git operations within sshagent pipeline steps.
