 10. sftp: Extension request "hardlink at openssh.com"

 This request is for creating a hard link to a regular file. This
 request is implemented as a SSH_FXP_EXTENDED request with the
 following format:

         uint32          id
         string          "hardlink at openssh.com"
         string          oldpath
         string          newpath

 On receiving this request the server will perform the operation
 link(oldpath, newpath) and will respond with a SSH_FXP_STATUS message.
 This extension is advertised in the SSH_FXP_VERSION hello with version
 "1".
