Describe the current behavior

We have disabled host key checking explicitly on all SSH connections.

Steps to reproduce

Do anything with abra.

Describe the expected behavior

There is some UI/UX for checking host keys which doesn't rely on the system prompts but is actually done by abra to increase the chances this is portable.

Any idea how this might be fixed?

We can follow approach in #234 (comment).

I was thinking we can add logic which checks that if a server argument is passed, we check the local known hosts, if we're missing an entry, we do an abra prompt to check it and then add an entry automatically ourselves.
