 Possibly related to #17960.

 I am trying to script a configuration where WordPress can update itself
 and install/update plugins via SSH. All tests are on a freshly installed
 WordPress with a new database. I go through the 5-minute install screen
 then to updates->reinstall now.

 It fails in two different ways depending on the value of FS_METHOD in wp-
 config.php.

 If I set FS_METHOD to "ssh", the form selects the right button but the
 first update/reinstall doesn't work (it never even tries an SSH
 connection). If I set FS_METHOD to "ssh2", the form does not select the
 right button but (if I select it manually) the first update/reinstall does
 work.

 I am attaching a trivial patch that changes 'ssh' to 'ssh2' in two
 comments and one comparison in wp-admin/includes/file.php. With this patch
 everything works as expected with default configured values.
