build file and accompanying documents exercising 3 examples of SSHExec task

When using the SSHExec task to try to pass a password to the sudo command using inputproperty attribute my password was being printed to the tasks logging, and my sudo command would never complete.
I found that the InputStream and OutputStream of the JSch ChannelExec object where configured reverse to how they should be according to the JSch Sudo Example at http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/examples/Sudo.java

I developed the following patch to address the issue, and have attached a test case using the 3 input styles (inputproperty, inputstring, and input attributes).
