client side

Similarly, if you want to avoid use of RSA-SHA1 completely then you
also need to ensure the client only accepts RSA-SHA2 signatures.

This patch to the client does this. It will disregard hostkey proofs if
they use ssh-rsa except when it has been explicitly negotiated as the
hostkey algorithm.

AFAIK this should be fine for backwards compatibility, except for the
case when a <openssh-8.9 server is configured with multiple RSA keys. I
expect this to be a rare situation.
