Mac: ssh-agent shouldn't hang around very long

I don't want any Mac I run that might be available to the public (i.e. left in a hotel room in a nosy foreign country) to store my ssh pass phrase in the machine.

In

/System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist
add to the ProgramArguments array:
		<string>-t</string>
		<string>60</string>
so the agent only hangs around for 60 seconds.
