In our CHERI Jenkins CI we need to pass -F <custom_config_file> to each
ssh/scp command to set various arguments such as the localhost port, usage
of controlmaster, etc. to speed up connections to our emulated QEMU systems.
For our specific use-case I could have also added a single --ssh-config-file
argument that can be used for both the scp and ssh commands, but being able
to pass arbitrary extra flags for both commands seems more flexible.
