I just spent four hours trying to track down a public key authentication 
failure.

The patch I submitted earlier today to explain the cause of "auth cancel" 
errors is actually misleading: my publickey authentication failed, so JSch 
silently ignored it and went on to password authentication; THAT failed 
because I didn't specify a password, which caused an exception.

I would have thought (wished?) that if I had specified a keyfile and an 
identity which failed to authenticate that JSch would do something to help 
me figure out what had happened to me.

Is it safe to just throw an exception in UserAuthPublicKey?  That would 
have helped me much more than the JSchAuthCancelException I actually got.
