[PATCH v2 2/2] kex: honor client preference for rsa-sha2-{256,512} host key algorithms


Ensure to honor the client preference ordering when enabling one of
the RFC8332 RSA signature extensions (`rsa-sha2-{256,512}`).

Before this change, libssh unconditionally selects the `rsa-sha2-512`
algorithm for clients which may have offered "rsa-sha2-256,rsa-sha2-512".

The change can be observed before-and-after with the pkd tests:

    ./pkd_hello -t torture_pkd_openssh_rsa_rsa_sha2_256_512
