OpenSSH has supported Ed25519 keys since version 6.4 (2014-01-30), and ECDSA keys since version 5.7 (2011-01-24). git-gui fails to find these key types in its Help/Show SSH Key dialog.

Teach git-gui to show Ed25519 and ECDSA keys as well.

This was originally reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1487 and subseqently in https://public-inbox.org/git/F65780F29E48994380E2BCE87C6F071101146AB1@DEERLM99EX2MSX.ww931.my-it-solutions.net/
