proposed patch

As obsoleting SSHv1 protocol, there are still few places where we need
to get rid of it. One of them is usage line in ssh-keygen, listing key
types:

usage: ssh-keygen [-q] [-b bits] [-t dsa | ecdsa | ed25519 | rsa |
rsa1]

This one is easy one.

Other places still offering SSHv1 protocol are manual pages, where it
will be probably more complicated then just ifdef. Is there any plan
about this one? Would some pre-processing using non-printable comments
in the documentation source be feasible? This could also allow us to
get rid of many obsolete configuration options that just confuse users
today. This would probably need a new bug for Documentation.
