Description
Current implementation requires the caller to bind to HostKeyReceived event before establishing a connection. This makes any scenario, where key/fingerprint is checked after connection, very cumbersome.
I propose to add a host key property to the BaseClient to enable such scenarios.
I can provide the implementation if desired.

Research direction
Start with BaseClient and the HostKeyReceived event path to understand when the host key becomes available and how connection establishment currently exposes it. Done means callers can inspect a host key property after connection without binding the event first; determine the required API behavior and validation from the existing connection flow.
