Cirrus: Simplify rootless ssh setup

The sshd service is guaranteed to be running by the VM image build
process - it's required by the packer tool for access.  Remove the
startup and check on the sshd service.

For many tests, man ssh connections to/from $ROOTLESS_USER on the
host are needed.  To facilitate this, the localhost key is added to
`known_hosts` for root and `$ROOTLESS_USER`.  Simplify this setup using
the `ssh-keyscan` tool.
