default sshd_config patch

/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
"The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where possible,
but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a default value."

Strictly speaking, the values are not changed by uncommenting alone. It
might be better to use something like "uncommenting overrides default
values" (patch attached).
