Salvador Fandino b83c3e056e libssh2_session_set_last_error: Add function
Net::SSH2, the Perl wrapping module for libssh2 implements several features*
on top of libssh2 that can fail and so need some mechanism to report the error
condition to the user.

Until now, besides the error state maintained internally by libssh2, another
error state was maintained at the Perl level for every session object and then
additional logic was used to merge both error states. That is a maintenance
nighmare, and actually there is no way to do it correctly and consistently.

In order to allow the high level language to add new features to the library
but still rely in its error reporting features the new function
libssh2_session_set_last_error (that just exposses _libssh2_error_flags) is
introduced.

*) For instance, connecting to a remote SSH service giving the hostname and
port.

.SH NAME
libssh2_session_last_error - get the most recent error
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>
int
libssh2_session_last_error(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, char **errmsg, int *errmsg_len, int want_buf);
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIsession\fP - Session instance as returned by
.BR libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
\fIerrmsg\fP - If not NULL, is populated by reference with the human
readable form of the most recent error message.
\fIerrmsg_len\fP - If not NULL, is populated by reference with the length
of errmsg. (The string is NUL-terminated, so the length is only useful as
an optimization, to avoid calling strlen.)
\fIwant_buf\fP - If set to a non-zero value, "ownership" of the errmsg
buffer will be given to the calling scope. If necessary, the errmsg buffer
will be duplicated.
Determine the most recent error condition and its cause.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Numeric error code corresponding to the the Error Code constants.
