feat: inline public ssh key in verification command (#7516)

Browse source 
This makes it easier for people to verify their SSH key with various
setups. People with a key stored in a file won't have to manually
substitute the correct file path anymore. People who store their SSH
key in a password manager and access it via an ssh-agent won't have
to copy the private key to a temporary file or figure out the process
substitution thing anymore.

A slight disadvantage is that the fish shell doesn't have the same
syntax for process substitution as POSIX shells. For that reason, a
default-collapsed box with a custom command for fish users is provided,
just like for the Windows shells.

The Windows shells do not have an equivalent to process substitution, so
those commands remain unchanged.
