This allows tests using remote_spawn to work with ssh.exp (rather than
calling rsh with standard_spawn otherwise does by default).

I have a few quibbles with some of the above, but they are existing problems that will need to be cleaned up later.

The big problem I have here is an extra use of sh.  What prevents using Tcl list operations and {eval [list spawn $SSH] $ssh_useropts [list "$ssh_user$hostname" $commandline]} to move the argument splitting into Tcl and avoid an extra shell with all of its potential quoting pitfalls?

To use list operations here, initialize ssh_useropts to either [board_info $dest ssh_opts] or an empty list, then use lappend(n) to add to it.  This may also obviate the need for quoting ControlPath.

The main reason I do not want an extra shell used here is that it will break if $commandline ever contains single quotes.  It also wastes a process table slot, but that is a minor issue on modern systems and could be fixed by using exec(1) in the shell.
