Description
libgit2 has support for in-memory SSH keys. There is already git2::SSH_MEMORY to indicate that the credentials type is allowed, but a wrapper for git_cred_ssh_key_memory_new is missing.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing credential wrappers and the handling of git2::SSH_MEMORY, then compare them with libgit2's git_cred_ssh_key_memory_new API. Done means the missing in-memory SSH-key wrapper is exposed consistently with the existing bindings and accepts the credentials type already marked as supported.
