Add tests for SSH agent forwarding proxy cleanup
Verify that the agent proxy goroutines and semaphore slots are released after each session, preventing exhaustion of maxAgentConns. The TestAgentProxyCleanup test opens more sessions than maxAgentConns on a single connection, which would fail without the CloseWrite half-close fix.
