[Bug 1080621] [NEW] RequestTTY option is not respected when declared in .ssh/config

[BorisH]

Public bug reported:

Using this .ssh/config file on a up-to-date ubuntu 12.10 64bits :
  Host xxxx.xxxxxx.com
  RequestTTY yes

$ ssh  xxxx.xxxxxx.com screen -x
Must be connected to a terminal.

While entering the same config directly in the command line works nicely
:

$ ssh -o "RequestTTY yes" free.zboubi.com screen -x
works ok

$ ssh -t free.zboubi.com screen -x
works ok
