Does not work with new algorithms, like ED25519

Looks like there may be better choice code.

k = SSHKey.new( File.read( 'spec/keys/ed25519' ) )
OpenSSL::PKey::DSAError: Neither PUB key nor PRIV key
from .bundle-gems/ruby/2.7.0/gems/sshkey-2.0.0/lib/sshkey.rb:250:in `initialize'
Caused by OpenSSL::PKey::RSAError: Neither PUB key nor PRIV key: nested asn1 error

Hey @bensie @mcclymont any thoughts about fleshing out ECDSA support?

k = SSHKey.generate(type: "ECDSA")
RuntimeError: Unknown key type: ECDSA

(also noting existing branches ec and ecdsabits and issue https://github.com/bensie/sshkey/issues/35)

From my end, I faced the same error.

I generate the private key with the following:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

Ruby Version I tried:

• 3.0.0
• 2.7.2
• 2.6.5
