Load a Key into the SSH Agent

Starts the agent and hands it the key, so the passphrase is typed once per session instead of on every connection.

The agent holds the decrypted key in memory only. On macOS add --apple-use-keychain to have it survive a reboot; on Linux most desktops start an agent for you at login.

When you need this: After creating a key with a passphrase, and any time git push starts asking for it repeatedly.
