           Summary: sshd logs unnecessary messages if some of default host

do not use absent host keys for default HostKey value

If the HostKey option is not set and an administrator hasn't created
all the default host keys, sshd tries to use all three default keys
every time a connection occurs, and logs a message that it couldn't
load the missing key. It wouldn't be probably necessary if sshd checked
for an existence of these keys during the servconf phase.
