Why do we keep replicating this all over push_ssh_options? The wording
very much sounds like it's a bug whenever VARIANT_AUTO gets passed to
push_ssh_options, no exceptions. In that case we should probably just
check for it once at the beginning of push_ssh_options instead of after
almost every single if. If there are valid cases where VARIANT_AUTO gets
passed to push_ssh_options we should probably clarify the wording as to
what parameter combinations are and aren't valid with VARIANT_AUTO.

I've included the Sign-Offs and Acks of the commits that introduced the
previous copies of this.[1][2] The previous discussion[3] on the mailing
list does not seem to mention the duplication.
