[PATCH] known_hosts: Fail when parsing unknown keys in known_hosts file.

libssh2_knownhost_readfile() silently ignored problems when reading keys
in unsupported formats from the known hosts file. When the file is
written again from the internal structures of libssh2 it gets truntcated
to the point where the first unknown key was located.

 * src/knownhost.c:libssh2_knownhost_readfile() - return error if key
                                                  parsing fails
