This plugin currently allows only adding a token to an existing key slot.
Specified SSH server must contain a key file on the specified path with a
passphrase for an existing key slot on the device.
Provided credentials will be used by cryptsetup to get the password when
opening the device using the token.
Note: The information provided when adding the token (SSH server address, user
and paths) will be stored in the LUKS2 header in plaintext.
