Create SSH keygen script to (hopefully) prevent confusion in the future

Ghost Userrequested to merge
ssh-keygen-script into master

The SSH keygen script can be CURL'd and piped to bash to generate an ed25519 SSH key. It works as follows

  • check if a key with the name id_25519 already exists. If so, print out the contents of the public key.
  • Ask the user to enter an E-mail address
  • Run ssh-keygen with this E-mail address, the default output filename and the type ed25519\
  • Run eval $( ssh-agent -s )
  • Run ssh-add with this new key
  • Print out the contents of the new public key

The SSH setup has been a point of confusion for many attendees (as most people don't understand the commands they're typing), and this is an attempt to make this step less complex.
