Hanging rsync because of ssh issue with D-Bus #176

Description

@realsimix

There is currently a problem with rsync when running it on RHEL8 with ssh. The problem is that ssh can hang because of a problem with D-Bus:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1940067

Of course the problem is not really in rsync but I thought why not trying to make rsync over ssh a bit more robust?

Maybe one of the following could help:
a) add -x as default arg if RSYNC_RSH="ssh", this would stop ssh from trying to forward X11.
b) just unsetenv("DISPLAY"); before ssh is launched, this should also stop ssh from trying to forward X11.

Thanks,
Simon
