…ion-denied-publickey.md with steps to verify local ssh permissions. Changes only include additions; nothing removed.

Why:

When troubleshooting my own connectivity issues I found that local permissions were the cause of non-connectivity, and the steps necessary to check and adjust those permissions have been added to this PR.

Closes:

#41382

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

In brief I've added the following SSH file permission troubleshooting console/terminal commands:

$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
$ ssh-add ~/ssh-directory/<keyfile>
$ chmod 700 /ssh-directory
$ chmod 600 /ssh-directory/<keyfile>
$ chmod 644 /ssh-directory/<keyfile>.pub
$ ssh-add ~/ssh-directory/<keyfile>
