Hiding SSH Host Banner Doesnt work

[bo0od]

maybe its useful but on the other hand its bad decision if user want to 
hide it in order to avoid bots attacks for vulnerable versions (for 
surely it should be left not updated for long time BUT still optional 
setting is preferable for the user to choose hide it or not)

Default can be show version , but at least provide easy option to hide.
