python-paramiko: Update and clean up meta.

Browse Source 
The upstream package has a new maintainer (Jeff Forcier) and thus the
main homepage for the project is the GitHub page.

Also the long description contains quite a lot of unrelevant
information, so I've used the one from PyPI, which is a lot smaller and
just contains what the library supports and does.

longDescription = ''
paramiko is a module for python 2.2 (or higher) that implements the
SSH2 protocol for secure (encrypted and authenticated) connections to
remote machines. unlike SSL (aka TLS), SSH2 protocol does not require
heirarchical certificates signed by a powerful central authority. you
may know SSH2 as the protocol that replaced telnet and rsh for secure
access to remote shells, but the protocol also includes the ability
to open arbitrary channels to remote services across the encrypted
tunnel -- this is how sftp works, for example. it is written
entirely in python (no C or platform-dependent code) and is released
under the GNU LGPL (lesser GPL). '';
This is a library for making SSH2 connections (client or server).
Emphasis is on using SSH2 as an alternative to SSL for making secure
connections between python scripts. All major ciphers and hash methods
are supported. SFTP client and server mode are both supported too.
