Mostly a release for some internal work as well as scrapli_netconf

  • Updated IOSXE base config to include netconf setup for consistency w/ scrapli_netconf
  • Removed "pipes" authentication for system ssh -- this is mostly an internal change that simplifies the way that
    system transport authenticates. We lose the ability to very easily read out of stderr what is going on so even if we auth with a key now we have to "confirm" that we are authenticated, but this removes a fair bit of code and unifies things as well as allows for the next line item...
  • Added support for auth_private_key_passphrase to system transport -- allows for entering ssh key passphrase to decrypt ssh keys
  • Added an example on how to deal with "weird" things like banners and macros -- these types of things change how the ssh channel works in that they are pseudo "interactive" -- meaning the prompt is modified/removed so scrapli can't ever "know" when a command is done inserting. It would be possible to support these types of config items more "natively" but doing so would lose some of the smarts about how scrapli enters/confirms inputs sent, so for now (and probably for forever) these will need to be configured in a "special" fashion
  • Updated IOSXE for functional tests to use 16.12.03 -- this includes updates to the base config/expected configs... AFAIK there is some better netconf/restconf support in this version which may be handy for tests for scrapli-netconf
  • Update channel/drivers to never decode bytes -- this now only happens in the response object; primary motivation for this is to not have to decode/re-encode in general, and in scrapli-netconf in particular
