Typo in 'uvt-kvm ssh guest' output

[Dave Kettmann]

When attempting to use 'uvt-kvm ssh' to ssh into a container, there is a typo in the message:

$ uvt-kvm ssh ls-test
uvt-kvm: error: ssh access with host key verification is not implemented. Use --insecure iff you trust your network path to the guest.

It looks like this appears twice in the source code both in the same file 'uvtool/libvirt/kvm.py'

Patch for devel release (Zesty(17.04)) is ready waiting for the change to be first apply upstream and then Zesty, ...

Not a specifically a typo, 'iff' is short-hand for 'if and only if', which
is I believe what the author intended as a strong warning or at least
awareness.
