Eelco Dolstra ffedee6ed5 Start ssh-agent as a user unit
This has some advantages:

* You get ssh-agent regardless of how you logged in. Previously it was
  only started for X11 sessions.

* All sessions of a user share the same agent. So if you added a key
  on tty1, it will also be available on tty2.

* Systemd will restart ssh-agent if it dies.

* $SSH_AUTH_SOCK now points to the /run/user/<uid> directory, which is
  more secure than /tmp.

For bonus points, we should patch ssh-agent to support socket-based
activation...
