[Gt-eos] gct and gsissh

[Mátyás Selmeci]

I don't think that's the master patch. The script "prep-gsissh" 
downloads the original OpenSSH sources and applies the following patches 
to them, downloaded directly from the globus/gsi-openssh GitHub repo:

# Patch0 is the HPN-SSH patch to Portable OpenSSH
Patch0="https://github.com/globus/gsi-openssh/releases/download/${gsissh_version}/openssh-7_5_P1-hpn-14.13.diff"
# Patch1 is the iSSHD patch to HPN-SSH
Patch1="https://github.com/globus/gsi-openssh/releases/download/${gsissh_version}/hpn-14.13-isshd.v3.19.1.patch"
# Patch2 is the GSI patch to be applied on top of the iSSHD patch
Patch2="https://github.com/globus/gsi-openssh/releases/download/${gsissh_version}/hpn_isshd-gsi.7.5p1b.patch"
##Patch3 is the OpenSSL 1.1 patch to be applied on top of the GSI patch and is constructed as follows:
Patch3="https://github.com/globus/gsi-openssh/releases/download/${gsissh_version}/hpn_isshd-gsi_ossl.${gsissh_version}.patch"

This is also something I'd like to get rid of: builds that require 
internet access hurt reproducibility.
