[PATCH 1/1] rework printing for visual host key upper border

Christian Hesse mail at eworm.de

Key types are getting longer and the current implementation of visual
host key breaks with ED25519, resulting in (note the missing bracket):

+--[ED25519  256--+

This reworks the calculation of visual host key upper border. Please be
aware that this may change the output for other key types as well.
