nixos/ssh: Add enableAskPassword

Previously, this was only implicitly enabled if xserver.enable = true.
However, Wayland-based desktops do not require this, and so configuring
SSH_ASKPASS on a Wayland desktop becomes cumbersome. This simplifies
that by adding a new option that defaults to the old conditional.
