There was no (proper) support for non-blocking operations in the past so this
function obviously didn't set non-blocking in the sense I would think it
means. Actually, after having read the docs in the libssh2.org wiki, I simply
cannot see how it worked like this before and I'm quite sure it doesn't work
like this now.

That fix would bring back the old funtionality indeed, but I don't think it'll
make the function actually work as documented.

I vote in favour of dropping it.
