[crypto] Ad-hoc deserialization from ssh-keygen armored files about fastcrypto HOT 5 CLOSED

do we want to support passphrase protected keys? if so, this may be a bit of more work. also there seems to be few versions of the PEM format, may be a bigger scope to support all of them.

I started on a branch armored-key and plan to use https://github.com/Leo1003/rust-osshkeys and realized few missing features and there isn't a matured library to support this. i may need to patch the library - documenting my progress here

I think at this stage the goal is to let folks use a tool they like and trust to generate their key. The goal is to first support one of the ways to generate a key with ssh-keygen (e.g. with no passphrase, one format only). We can leave the extension of that core of functionality for a second iteration.
