Make the DH-GEX fallback group 4k bit.

Where did this group come from? IMO it would be best to use one of the
standard groups if we're picking another fixed one - logjam attacks
aren't remotely plausible at this length, and doing so avoids any
questions over the group's provenance.

You could use the RFC3526 (ISAKMP) 4096-bit group:
