fix(permission-hardener): ssh-agent gets 2755 perms

Browse source 
Change from exactwhitelist to matchwhitelist. Discussion revealed that
there's a good reason to leave setgid in here, which is essentially
defense-in-depth (sometimes users may want to revert Kicksecure's
default of kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=2, e.g. to debug a program, and
Kicksecure should not be less secure than vanilla Debian in that
situation).

## Used for SSH client key management
## https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/openssh-client/ssh-agent.1.en.html
## Debian installs ssh-agent with setgid permissions (2755) and with
## _ssh as the group to prevent ptrace attacks that could extract
## private keys from the agent's memory. However, as Kicksecure makes use
## of kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=2 by default, this is not a concern.
##
## ssh-agent is often run under non-root users, so 755 permissions make
## sense here to avoid breakage.
