Add an "is_supported()" function to the different methods so that each
method can include whatever logic they wish to indicate if they are
supported on a particular machine. Previously, methods/init.py
contained all of the logic for selecting individual methods. Now, it
iterates through a list of possible options and stops on the first
method that it finds that is_supported().
Currently, the decision is made based on the presence of programs in
the PATH. In the future, things such as the platform sshuttle is
running on could be considered.
