We add this support for the following reasons:
- We are planning to expose recommended (secure) vs. supported (works,
not necessarily recommended) algorithms. The DHGEX kex is currently
only exposed as a client-side kex. To simplify the calling convention
for this follow-on, we expose the server side too.
- Some clients are quite inflexible with reference to kex algorithms
choice, for example they offer:
diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256, diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,
diffie-hellman-group14-sha1, diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
therefore DHGEX helps interoperability.
We do not recommend the DHGEX kex as a whole:
- the negotiation requires an extra round trip
- the server must generate parameters (slow) or hardcode them, which
defeats the security benefit over traditional DH.
In this implementation we hardcode sending Oakley Group 14, Oakley
Group 15 or Oakley Group 16 based on the requested max size.
Users that are concerned with security of classical DH kex should
migrate to kex based on EC or Ed25519.

These tests try to ensure better compatibility of our server implementation
with the ssh CLI.
With these tests in place:
1) before merging CL 447757 we would have noticed that our server
implementation was broken with OpenSSH 8.8+
2) after merging CL 447757 we would have noticed that our server
implementation was broken with OpenSSH 7.2-7.7
The ssh CLI from $PATH is used by default, but can be overridden using
the SSH_CLI_PATH environment variable.
