"Connecting with SSH timed out" when Fish/tcsh/csh shell is used

**workaround**: in preferences, set `remote.SSH.useLocalServer` to `true` and `remote.SSH.remotePlatform` like so: ``` "remote.SSH.remotePlatform": { <hostname1>: "linux", <hostname2>: "linux" }, ``` ~~**workaround**: Downgrading this extension to 0.49.0 fixes the issue (although it appears to break the "recent connections" UI). Extensions menu -> Right-click on "Remote - SSH" -> "Install Another Version" -> 0.49.0~~ This is a regression on #33, started after I upgraded to VScode 1.43.0/extension 0.50.0. - VSCode Version: 1.43.0 - Local OS Version: macOS 10.14.6 - Remote OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS - Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set bash to default shell 2. Connect with VSCode remote. Works as expected. 3. Set default remote shell as Fish 2. Connecting with VSCode times out. This was observed on two different servers <!-- Check to see if the problem is general, with a specific extension, or only happens when remote --> Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: N/A Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: N/A ``` [11:40:01.637] Log Level: 2 [11:40:01.639] remote-ssh@0.50.0 [11:40:01.639] darwin x64 [11:40:01.640] SSH Resolver called for "ssh-remote+anton", attempt 1 [11:40:01.640] SSH Resolver called for host: anton [11:40:01.640] Setting up SSH remote "anton" [11:40:01.643] Acquiring local install lock: /var/folders/y0/x378plh96hndqvy04th4v7880000gn/T/vscode-remote-ss
