The public keys in the x/crypto/ssh package implement the following interface:

type CryptoPublicKey interface {
	CryptoPublicKey() crypto.PublicKey
}

These methods return the underlying key for RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519, and DSA public keys. However, the ecdsa-sk and ed25519-sk keys do not implement that interface, forcing a user to unmarshal the serialized data to a struct to be able to get the underlying keys.

As the skECDSAPublicKey and skEd25519PublicKey already contain the key, the implementation would look like this:

func (k *skECDSAPublicKey) CryptoPublicKey() crypto.PublicKey {
	return &k.PublicKey
}

func (k *skEd25519PublicKey) CryptoPublicKey() crypto.PublicKey {
	return k.PublicKey
}

To be consistent with the rest of the CryptoPublicKey implementations, these methods will return the actual key, instead of a copy of it.

Maybe we can do the same for the agent as well.

If you agree I can send a separate CL for this.

Although it shouldn't, the main reason I haven't done it is because ssh.ParsePublicKey(k.Blob) can fail

I mean something like this

https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/crypto/+/530775

however I don't want to block the proposal for this, we can discuss the above CL separately

Fix panic when parsing SSH SK pubkeys
cd3af98 
This is because these pubkey types do not implement
ssh.CryptoPublicKey, which causes a panic when we try to do
a type assertion.

Also realized we weren't handling SSH certs, so now we extract the
pubkey from the cert before trying to parse it.

Had to reimplement parsing the SK pubkeys because there is no other way
to extract the raw pubkey from it. After golang/go#62518,
this will get cleaned up.

This looks extremely uncontroversial, ignoring the agent implementation for now.

@golang/proposal-review, can we get it straight into likely accept maybe?
