      .The `ssh` RHEL system role now recognizes the `ObscureKeystrokeTiming` and `ChannelTimeout` configuration options

      The `ssh` RHEL system role has been updated to reflect addition of the following configuration options in the OpenSSH utility suite:

      * `ObscureKeystrokeTiming` (yes|no|interval specifier, defaults to 20): Configures whether the `ssh` utility should obscure the inter-keystroke timings from passive observers of network traffic.

      * `ChannelTimeout`: Configures whether and how quickly the `ssh` utility should close inactive channels.

      When using the `ssh` RHEL system role, you can use the new options like in this example play:

      ----
      ---
      - name: Non-exclusive sshd configuration
        hosts: managed-node-01.example.com
        tasks:
          - name: Configure ssh to obscure keystroke timing and set 5m session timeout
            ansible.builtin.include_role:
              name: rhel-system-roles.ssh
            vars:
              ssh_ObscureKeystrokeTiming: "interval:80"
              ssh_ChannelTimeout: "session=5m"

      Enhancement: Add new configuration options `ObscureKeystrokeTiming` and `ChannelTimeout`; remove false positives in the test

      Reason: New OpenSSH was released with new configuration option.

      Result: The option is recognized by the system role.
