ssh: don't skip the source-address critical option in CheckCert

CertChecker.CheckCert ignored source-address on the assumption that
serverAuthenticate would enforce it, but that only happens in the
server-side user authentication path. Nothing enforced it in the host key
path, so CheckHostKey accepted CA-signed host certificates carrying
source-address regardless of the server's address, and the same applied to
applications calling CheckCert directly.

Drop the special case: every critical option must be listed in
SupportedCriticalOptions, host and user certificates alike. Authenticate,
the only path where serverAuthenticate does enforce source-address, checks
against a copy of the CertChecker with that option appended.

Fixes golang/go#80872
