Move into ~/Library/LaunchAgents to load on login.

This adds all key's to the ssh-agent. Note that the ssh command already does that when AddKeysToAgent yes is set, but other commands, such as git commit -S, do not. So after a reboot, when you git commit -S before using ssh for the first time, it will not work and instead fail with error: Load key "/var/folders/[...]/.git_signing_key_tmp[...]": invalid format?. This launch agent fixes that.
