Significantly reworking the internals of the fileparsing code. It now

passes around an instance of a FileRecord, rather than just a hash, which I
think makes it much easier to understand.

Moved the sshkey parsed provider test to its own directory and made it better.

This work is all being done so I can move cron jobs to using providers
instead of the current unmaintainable state of affairs.
