Change to prompting from workers in ansible-core 2.15 affecting libssh connection plugin

[sivel]

SUMMARY

In ansible/ansible#79886 we have begun the work to no longer allow workers to inherit stdio file descriptors.

This specifically impacts the libssh connection plugin as it uses stdin to prompt for accepting host keys.

Accessing self._new_stdin from a connection plugin will raise a deprecation warning stating that it will be removed in ansible-core 2.19.

See this change to the paramiko connection plugin for details of how to prompt in 2.15+: ansible/ansible@b981a9d#diff-625ed4f344522e63d018922b9869c9890ea0ef8e331005b34005507236551d54

Since this collection supports more than just the latest version, it may require 2 implementations of MyAddPolicy guarded by version comparison.
