cc_ssh.py: fix private key group owner and permissions#1070

when default host keys are created by sshd-keygen (/etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key),
openssh it performs the following:
# create new keys
if ! $KEYGEN -q -t $KEYTYPE -f $KEY -C '' -N '' >&/dev/null; then
exit 1
fi
# sanitize permissions
/usr/bin/chgrp ssh_keys $KEY
/usr/bin/chmod 640 $KEY
/usr/bin/chmod 644 $KEY.pub
Now that we disable sshd-keygen to allow only cloud-init to create
them, we miss the "sanitize permissions" part, where we set the group
owner as ssh_keys and the private key mode to 640.

Proposed Commit Message
When default host keys are created by sshd-keygen (
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key)in RHEL/CentOS/Fedora,
opensshit performs the following:Note that the group
ssh_keysexists only in RHEL/CentOS/Fedora.Now that we disable sshd-keygen to allow only cloud-init to create
them, we miss the "sanitize permissions" part, where we set the group
owner as ssh_keys and the private key mode to 640.
According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2013644#c8, failing
to set group ownership and permissions like openssh does makes the RHEL openscap
tool generate an error.

Test Steps
Check permissions after cloud-init has generated ssh host keys:
