patch to allow zfs-stats to make use of ssh-agent

zfs-stats is a Perl script, and is invoked using /usr/bin/env; it also clea=
rs
the environment in the process, which is generally a Good Thing.

However, it also clears the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable in the proce=
ss,
which causes each invocation that is intended to use ssh to also request
authentication... which rather defeats a lot of the purpose of using (e.g.)
public key authentication.

The attached patch causes the script to clear all but the SSH_AUTH_SOCK
environment variable; the resulting script thus Just works when told to use
ssh.

If there's another (better) way to do this, I'm fine with that.  Having set
things up so I only need to enter my authentication information when I logi=
n to
my laptop, and can then ssh to other machines freely, it seemed a bit ...
undesirable ... to suddenly get requests to re-enter the information for ea=
ch
query.

While I was here, I also inserted a "-x" flag in the ssh invocation: zfs-st=
ats
certainly has no need to forward X11 for its statistics-gathering.
