After fixing CVE-2023-22742 for LTS and ELTS, I'd like to see
this CVE also fixed in stable, for consistency.

The CVE is an inproper ssh certificate validation vulnerabilty,
which allows man-in-the-middle attacks.

[ Tests ]
I've manually tested the patch (checking if git poperations still
work using the ssh transport.

Autopkgtests are green too.

[ Risks ]
Manual tests and test suite works ok.

[ Checklist ]
  [X] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
The change is a backport of the upstream fix:

+Description: CVE-2023-22742 - fails to verify SSH keys by default
+ CVE-Description: libgit2 is a cross-platform, linkable library
+ implementation of Git. When using an SSH remote with the optional libssh2
+ backend, libgit2 does not perform certificate checking by default. Prior
+ versions of libgit2 require the caller to set the `certificate_check` field of
+ libgit2's `git_remote_callbacks` structure - if a certificate check callback 
is
+ not set, libgit2 does not perform any certificate checking. This means that by
+ default - without configuring a certificate check callback, clients will not
+ perform validation on the server SSH keys and may be subject to a
+ man-in-the-middle attack. 
+ This is a backport of the upstream fix to the Debian stretch version.
