pyinfra/connectors: Fix overwriting of users known_hosts file (pyinfr…

…a-dev#1209)

This fixes issue pyinfra-dev#1209, making it so that we append new keys to the
users known_hosts file instead of overwriting it.

Additionally:

    Added a testcase that should discover this breaking in the future.
    Broke out the append functionality into a "append_hostkey" function,
making it so we don't needlessly reuse code for AskPolicy and
AcceptNewPolicy.
    Linting actually correct this time.

Previous behaviour when adding a new key:

    Create a paramiko.HostKeys object
    Read the users known_hosts file
    Add the new key to the object
    Save the object, overwriting the users host_keys file.

New behaviour:

    Create a paramiko.HostKeyEntry object using the new hostname and
corresponding key.
    Append this key to the existing known_hosts file.
