Versions of net-ssh before 7.0 do not support the SHA-2 algorithm and result in mrsk not being able to connect to hosts using keys generated with it. net-ssh is also a dependency of sshkit, however, sshkit has a version requirement of >= 2.8.0 for net-ssh, so is not effective at ensuring mrsk has the version it needs to be the most compatible.

This PR adds a version requirement for the net-ssh gem of ~> 7.0.
Versions of net-ssh prior to 7 do not support the SHA-2 algorithm for RSA client authentication (see https://github.com/net-ssh/net-ssh/blob/master/CHANGES.txt#L21), which will prevent mrsk from connecting to host machines using those keys. In some cases this presented as mrsk being unable to acquire a lock, and in others it was an authentication failure (depending on whether mrsk was trying to execute a command or acquire a lock for further work).
mrsk already requires sshkit, which has a version requirement of net-ssh >= 2.8.0. In many cases, this works well, as the latest version of net-ssh would likely get installed anyway. In some cases where an application uses net-ssh and specifies its own version requirement of >= 2.8.0 and < 7, and uses a SHA-2 key to connect to the host, both mrsk and sshkit would be fine (the bundle version requirements would all succeed), but net-ssh would fail to open a connection and mrsk would fail with one of the issues above.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for this PR!
Fixes #180.
