The current BUG() messages in push_ssh_options imply that calling push_ssh_options and passing VARIANT_AUTO is always a bug and we should check for it once at the top of push_ssh_options instead of multiple times in various if statements. That is not actually the case. When the caller passes CONNECT_IPV4, CONNECT_IPV6 or a custom port alongside VARIANT_AUTO we cannot translate that to an option to the underlying SSH implementation without knowing the variant. As long as the caller does not specify IPV4/IPV6 or a custom port, it is ok for the caller to leave the variant AUTO. Let's explicitly state that the bug is in the combination of parameters.
