The server implementation looks at the HostKeys to advertise and
negotiate host key signature algorithms. A fundamental issue of the
Signer and AlgorithmSigner interfaces is that they don't expose the
supported signature algorithms, so really the server has to guess.
Currently, it would guess exclusively based on the PublicKey.Type,
regardless of whether the host key implemented AlgorithmSigner. This
means that a legacy Signer that only supports ssh-rsa still led the
server to negotiate rsa-sha2 algorithms. The server would then fail to
find a suitable host key to make the signature and crash.
This won't happen if only Signers from this package are used, but if a
custom Signer that doesn't support SignWithAlgorithm() but returns
"ssh-rsa" from PublicKey().Type() is used as a HostKey, the server is
vulnerable to DoS.
The only workable rules to determine what to advertise seems to be:
1. a pure Signer will always Sign with the PublicKey.Type
2. an AlgorithmSigner supports all algorithms associated with the
PublicKey.Type
Rule number two means that we can't add new supported algorithms in the
future, which is not great, but it's too late to fix that.
rsaSigner was breaking rule number one, and although it would have been
fine where it's used, I didn't want to break our own interface contract.
It's unclear why we had separate test key entries for rsa-sha2
algorithms, since we can use the ssh-rsa key for those. The only test
that used them, TestCertTypes, seemed broken: the init was actually
failing at making the corresponding signers rsaSigners, and indeed the
test for the SHA-256 signer expected and checked a SHA-512 signature.

RFC 8332, Section 2 sets up two overlapping namespaces: public key
formats and public key algorithms.
* The formats are what we currently have KeyAlgo constants for, and they
appear in PublicKey.Type.
* The algorithms are the set of both KeyAlgo and SigAlgo constants, and
they appear in Signature.Format (amongst other places).
This is incoherent, because that means Signature.Format can be both a
KeyAlgo (like KeyAlgoECDSA256) or a SigAlgo (like SigAlgoRSASHA2256).
One solution would be to duplicate all the KeyAlgo constants into the
SigAlgo namespace, but that would be confusing because applications are
currently using KeyAlgos where they'd be supposed to use the new
SigAlgos (while we can't deprecate the KeyAlgos because they are still
necessary for the PublicKey.Type namespace).
Instead, drop the separate namespaces, and use KeyAlgos throughout.
There are simply some KeyAlgos that can't be a PublicKey.Type.
Take the opportunity to fix the stuttering SHA22565/SHA2512 names. It's
totally ok to call those hashes SHA-256 and SHA-512 without the family
infix.

This change adds support for RSA SHA-2 based signatures for host keys and certificates. It also switches the default certificate signature algorithm for RSA to use SHA-512. This is implemented by treating ssh.Signer specially when the key type is `ssh-rsa` by also allowing SHA-256 and SHA-512 signatures.

This commit implements two new features. To preserve backwards
compatibility the new methods are added to an `ExtendedAgent` interface
which extends `Agent`. The client code implements `ExtendedAgent`
(which extends Agent) so you can call these additional methods against
SSH agents such as the OpenSSH agent. The ServeAgent method still
accepts Agent but will attempt to upcast the agent to `ExtendedAgent`
as needed, so if you supply an ExtendedAgent implementation you can
implement these additional methods (which keyring does).
The first feature is supporting the standard flags that can be passed to
SSH Sign requests, requesting that RSA signatures use SHA-256 or
SHA-512. See section 4.5.1 of the SSH agent protocol draft:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-miller-ssh-agent-02
The second feature is supporting calling custom extensions from clients
and implementing custom extensions from servers. See section 4.7 of the
SSH agent protocol draft:

SSH host certificates are expected to contain hostnames only,
not "host:port" format.
This change allows Go clients to connect to OpenSSH servers that
use host certificates.
Note, this change will break any clients that use ssh.NewClientConn()
with an `addr` that is not in `host:port` format (they will see a
"missing port in address" error).

This is a breaking change.
This adds a new hostkey callback which takes the hostname field
restrictions into account when validating host certificates.
Prior to this, a known_hosts file with the following entry
@cert-authority *.example.com ssh-rsa <example.com public key>
would, when passed to knownhosts.New() generate an ssh.HostKeyCallback
that would accept all host certificates signed by the example.com public
key, no matter what host the client was connecting to.
After this change, that known_hosts entry can only be used to validate
host certificates presented when connecting to hosts under *.example.com
This also renames IsAuthority to IsUserAuthority to make its intended
purpose more clear.

This change breaks existing behavior.
Before, a missing ClientConfig.HostKeyCallback would cause host key
checking to be disabled. In this configuration, establishing a
connection to any host just works, so today, most SSH client code in
the wild does not perform any host key checks.
This makes it easy to perform a MITM attack:
* SSH installations that use keyboard-interactive or password
authentication can be attacked with MITM, thereby stealing
passwords.
* Clients that use public-key authentication with agent forwarding are
also vulnerable: the MITM server could allow the login to succeed, and
then immediately ask the agent to authenticate the login to the real
server.
* Clients that use public-key authentication without agent forwarding
are harder to attack unnoticedly: an attacker cannot authenticate the
login to the real server, so it cannot in general present a convincing
server to the victim.
Now, a missing HostKeyCallback will cause the handshake to fail. This
change also provides InsecureIgnoreHostKey() and FixedHostKey(key) as
ready made host checkers.
A simplistic parser for OpenSSH's known_hosts file is given as an
example. This change does not provide a full-fledged parser, as it
has complexity (wildcards, revocation, hashed addresses) that will
need further consideration.
When introduced, the host checking feature maintained backward
compatibility at the expense of security. We have decided this is not
the right tradeoff for the SSH library.

These are the cosmetic cleanups from the bits of code that I
rereviewed.
1) stringLength now takes a int; the length of the string. Too many
callers were allocating with stringLength([]byte(s)) and
stringLength only needs to call len().
2) agent.go now has sendAndReceive to remove logic that was
duplicated.
3) We now reject negative DH values
4) We now reject empty packets rather than crashing.
