standardize ssh auth

we need to be following defautl paramiko rules,
first use pkey, then key_filenames (autodetecting ~/.ssh/ keys),
then password

We have too much boilerplate redudant code everywhere, we need
to standardize on a factory function that takes a node dict.

Using Python3 ChainMap we can layer overrides and defaults.

VNF descriptors have to default key_filename, password to Python None.
The only way to do this is to omit key values if the variable is not
defined, this way the dict will not have the value and it will
default to Python None

Add python2 chainmap backport

Updated unittest mocking to use ssh.SSH.from_node
