High Performance Enabled SSH/SCP

SCP and the underlying SSH protocol is network performance limited by statically defined internal flow control buffers. These buffers often end up acting as a brake on the network throughput of SCP especially on long and wide paths. Modifying the ssh code to allow the flow control buffers to be defined at run time eliminates this bottleneck.
