openssh unix dev - Sep 2020 - Fallback mechanism for external security key libraries

Hello,
Due to many changes in sk-api.h system, can we add a fallback mechanic to
switch to internal implementation if the current library version does not
match the installed OpenSSH? It can be controllable via some settings or
parameters. I can start working on a patch if you think this is good idea.

I think it would be better to eventually have ssh-sk.c allow support for
older API versions, but only once FIDO support is a little less new and
has had time to stabilise.
