ssh-keygen -Ql: avoid repeated SHA256: in output

Hello list,

If a key is revoked by public key, when printing it, ssh-keygen adds a
hardcoded "SHA256:" prefix and then prints the result of
sshkey_fingerprint, which does already include that "SHA256:" prefix.
Patch below, with extra context lines.

Also, while verifying this didn't mess up the output for other formats,
I realized that if you create a KRL with an input file like

sha256: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIDx8M2XyhHYN9SS1JzTXNipKfLN2P8ybBqi9S16o1sZs

or

hash: SHA256:K2Qu+94rdYJHJ62DTON67p5YejCsW4j3tA6fuTEpMmo

when printed, it gets printed as

hash: SHA256:2b642efbde2b75824727ad834ce37aee9e587a30ac5b88f7b40e9fb93129326a

which is quite unusual. In particular, ssh-keygen itself isn't able to
parse that kind of lines. I know that ssh-keygen -Ql output aims to be
*similar*, but not necessarily compatible, with the input format. Also
I didn't find any "tob64" function to replace "tohex" call.
