ssh.1: refer to ssh_config(5) in description of -C, -m
Hi, In most cases where ssh.1 refers to an option described in ssh_config(5), it makes this reference explicit. See for example in the description of -c: "See the Ciphers keyword in ssh_config(5)". Would it make sense to add "in ssh_config(5)" for the description of -C and -m too? A patch that does so below. I looked for similar cases in other man pages by searching for "see" but I didn't find any.
