Can no longer user SSH host alias to install module from private repo

[gavinhungry]

pnpm version: 8.6.8

Code to reproduce the issue:

pnpm i github:my_company/private_repo

Expected behavior:

pnpm uses the github SSH alias to authenticate via private key, and installs the module from private_repo. This was the behavior in pnpm 8.6.7. This syntax does still work for public repositories.

# ~/.ssh/config

Host github
  HostName        github.com
  User            git
  IdentityFile    ~/.ssh/my_ssh_private_key

Actual behavior:

pnpm instead prompts me for my GitHub username/password.

Additional information:

• node -v prints: v20.4.0
• Windows, macOS, or Linux?: Linux

I assume this is related to #6805.

So solving one bug causes another bug. This is going to be a long day.
