ssh: support rsa-sha2-256/512 on the server side

This lets clients know we support rsa-sha2-256/512 signatures from
ssh-rsa public keys. OpenSSH prefers to break the connection rather than
attempting trial and error, apparently.

We don't enable support for the "ext-info-s" because we're not
interested in any client->server extensions.

This also replaces isAcceptableAlgo which was rejecting the
rsa-sha2-256/512-cert-v01@openssh.com public key algorithms.

Tested with OpenSSH 9.1 on macOS Ventura.

Fixes golang/go#49269
Updates golang/go#49952
