Report ssh command failures to the surface (#1959)

The ssh debug commands told the user when something went wrong but
never told the surface that ran them, so `ssh host cmd` always exited 0
and a few failures were not reported at all. A failed command now
returns its error, a failure the user has already heard about is a
commands.Failure, and the ssh exec path exits 1 for either. The command
bodies also lose their ssh prefixes and the duplication they carried
over from ssh.go; both goldens pin that nothing else changed.

- Dispatch returns the callback's error, or shlex's; the ssh session
  logs it at debug, and not at all for a Failure the user already saw
- commands.Fail writes a message and returns it as a Failure in one step;
  an unknown command, `help` for a command that is not there, a failed
  reload and an unbalanced quote are failures
- ssh exec exit-status is 1 for a command, flag or failure error, 0
  otherwise; the e2e golden records the exit status for every case
- Clone rebinds help to the copy, so an ssh session's help lists logout
  and `help logout` and `logout -h` answer; sshd.LogoutCommand is the
  session's logout, exported for tests
- "did not understand" names the first word only, the one looked up;
  DispatchArgs takes just the tokens
- log-format writes its refusal to the user, as log-level does
- print-relays emits the relay error as a string and omits the key when
  there is none, where it printed {} or "Error":null
- list-hostmap and list-lighthouse-addrmap -json return the encode
  error; print-cert reports a certificate that will not marshal
- a flags type that is not the one registered is an internal error, not
  a silent success
- command functions and flag types are <name>Command and <name>Flags;
  parseVpnAddr and listHostMapFlagSet replace the repeated parse block
  and flag set; close-tunnel sends through sendCloseTunnel
