Description

Hello,

I would like to have the option to specify a different subsystem for sftp, when using SftpClient.
Currently, "sftp" is hardcoded, as can be seen in SftpSession in the constructor.

Research direction

Start with SftpClient and the SftpSession constructor, where the "sftp" subsystem is currently hardcoded. Trace how the session is created and verify that a caller can select a different subsystem while preserving the existing default behavior.
