Alex Stewart b3ace96246 gvfs: obviate the ssh-client requirement for gvfs
The gvfs project meson configuration attempts to locate and resolve the
path to an ssh-client on the build host, then pass that full-path to the
gvfs sftp-backend as a constant string, to be used at runtime to fork
ssh subprocesses.

As a consequence, if the build machine's ssh client path differs from
the gvfs target's path - as is common for OE/buildroot builds - gvfs can
fail at runtime. Further, build machines cannot configure gvfs without
an ssh client, even though nothing *uses* the client during the build.

The .patch in this commit has been upstreamed with gvfs, and modifies
the configuration to instead pass the string-literal `ssh` to the sftp
backend. With this change, gvfs will instead rely on PATH-expansion to
locate the user's ssh-client at runtime.

This obviates the requirement that the build machine have an ssh-client.
