[X2Go-Dev] Update for libssh-4

[xalloc]

Thanks everyone for the answers, I ended installing the version from heuler nightly builds.
Then launching it gave the error "x2goclient: error while loading shared libraries: libssh_threads.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
It was enough a "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssh.so.4.5.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssh_threads.so.4", everything works.

Thanks again
