[pve-devel] [RFC container v2 3/3] setup: skip rewriting ignored ssh host keys

Skip rewriting any SSH host keys that are actively marked as ignored by
the container template.

This is done for consistency with remove_existing_ssh_host_keys(), which
skips removing any ignored SSH host keys as well.

Because of the HA Rules stuff, I unfortunately didn't get the time to
properly test these with any container images, but wanted to send them
anyway.
