ssh: ensure that handshakeTransport goroutines have finished before Close returns

This fixes a data race in the tests for x/crypto/ssh, which expects to
be able to examine a transport's read and write counters without
locking after closing it.

(Given the number of goroutines, channels, and mutexes used in this
package, I wouldn't be surprised if other concurrency bugs remain.
I would suggest simplifying the concurrency in this package, but I
don't intend to follow up on that myself at the moment.)

Fixes golang/go#56957.
