suggested patch to prefer cli remote command

If you have set a RemoteCommand in the cli, and specify a command at
the end of the ssh command on the cli, it will error out with "Cannot
execute command-line and remote command.".

While you can specify -o RemoteCommand="your command here" on the cli
or -o RemoteCommand=none and put your command one the end of the ssh
command, or set a blank config, but it would be easier if the command
specified at the end of the ssh command would simply override the
RemoteCommand specified in the config.

Match command for ssh_config

We want this behaviour because it's potentially dangerous to surprise
oneself with a remote command where none was expected. Moreover,
changing the behaviour after it's been this way for a while is doubly
dangerous.

IMO it's better to give people who really care about this the ability
to set RemoteCommand only if there was no command-line command in the
first place. E.g. this patch allows stuff like:

Match command=""
    RemoteCommand blah
