Research direction

Start by reviewing the Native methods named in the issue, especially git_cred_ssh_key_new, and the existing GitCredentialHandler and Credentials abstractions. Clarify which of the two proposed API directions is intended, then verify that SSH credentials are exposed without self-made P/Invoke and that the public API remains usable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

add to Native methods:
git_cred_ssh_key_new and wrap it
or open GitCredentialHandler in Credentials class:

  public abstract class Credentials
  {
    protected internal abstract int GitCredentialHandler(out IntPtr cred);
  }

remove internal and any can p/invoke selfmade
