Attached patch fixes remediation script for sshd set

  [1] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/scap-security-guide/2013-December/004715.html

when Match block present in sshd config and moves it
to /shared fixes directory.

Tests succeeded for all four (sub)cases:
* no ClientAliveCountMax and no Match block
* ClientAliveCountMax already present, no Match block
* ClientAliveCountMax not present, Match block present
* both of ClientAliveCountMax and Match block directives present

in sshd config.

Pushed to master.

Thank you && Regards, Jan.

Since the remediation is going into shared/, could you add a comment into the script reflecting that it's been tested on Fedora? At some future point we may find a better way to indicate which platform(s) scripts have been tested against, but this will get us started.
