vs. supported distinction

OS: All

Clarify KexAlgorithms documentation
In https://bugs.debian.org/1073065, I had a user confused about the
meaning of the KexAlgorithms documentation. I think this is because it
uses "available" in two different senses (the list that a client makes
available to the server, and the list that's available for
configuration in the client), and because of a confusing use of the
word "also" that suggests that the list shown by "ssh -Q kex" is the
same as the default proposal when it isn't.
The attached patch should help.
