Version string

[Dag-Erling Smørgrav]

6.2p2 prints the same version string in the debugging output as it does
when invoked with -V:

 % ssh -V
 OpenSSH_6.2p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8y 5 Feb 2013
 % ssh -v nonesuch |& head -1
 OpenSSH_6.2p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8y 5 Feb 2013

6.3p1 and newer don't - I don't have anything at hand that runs 6.3p1,
but here are 6.[456]p1:

 % ssh -V
 OpenSSH_6.4p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-freebsd 11 Feb 2013
 % ssh -v nonesuch |& head -1
 OpenSSH_6.4, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-freebsd 11 Feb 2013

 % ssh -V
 OpenSSH_6.5p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f-freebsd 6 Jan 2014
 % ssh -v nonesuch |& head -1
 OpenSSH_6.5, OpenSSL 1.0.1f-freebsd 6 Jan 2014

 % ssh -V
 OpenSSH_6.6p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f-freebsd 6 Jan 2014
 % ssh -v nonesuch |& head -1
 OpenSSH_6.6, OpenSSL 1.0.1f-freebsd 6 Jan 2014

and my patched version of 6.6p1:

 % ssh -V
 OpenSSH_6.6p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-freebsd 11 Feb 2013
 % ssh -v nonesuch |& head -1
 OpenSSH_6.6p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-freebsd 11 Feb 2013
