The previous justification for using "VERBOSE" is incorrect,
because OpenSSH does use level INFO to log "which key was used
to log in" for sccessful logins, see:
6247812c76/auth.c (L323-L328)
Also update description to the wording of the sshd_config man page.
`fail2ban` needs, sshd to be "VERBOSE" to work well, thus
the `fail2ban` module sets it to "VERBOSE" if enabled.
The docs are updated accordingly.
The `curve25519-sha256` key exchange method is defined in RFC 8731 that
is identical to curve25519-sha256@libssh.org. OpenSSH supports the
method since version 7.4, released on 2016-12-19. It is literally a
violation of the "both in Secure Secure Shell and Mozilla guidelines"
rule, but it provides essentially the same but a future-proof default.
Also, links to the Mozilla OpenSSH guidelines are updated to refer to
the current place.

A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
With `sshd -t` config validation for SSH is possible. Until now, the
config generated by Nix was applied without any validation (which is
especially a problem for advanced config like `Match` blocks).
When deploying broken ssh config with nixops to a remote machine it gets
even harder to fix the problem due to the broken ssh that makes reverts
with nixops impossible.
This change performs the validation in a Nix build environment by
creating a store path with the config and generating a mocked host key
which seems to be needed for the validation. With a broken config, the
deployment already fails during the build of the derivation.
The original attempt was done in #56345 by adding a submodule for Match
groups to make it harder screwing that up, however that made the module
far more complex and config should be described in an easier way as
described in NixOS/rfcs#42.
Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.5.
Mostly a bugfix release, no major backwards-incompatible changes.
Remove deprecated `UsePrivilegeSeparation` option,
which is now mandatory.
