I propose that we instead remove libssh2_channel_set_blocking() from the API, 
and always just provide the blocking and the non-blocking ones. Then we know 
what mode to work on based on what functions that are called.

libssh2_channel_set_blocking() wasn't working before and it doesn't make much 
sense to me now either.

Or is there any benefit with still providing libssh2_channel_set_blocking() ?
