default sshd_config patch

/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
"The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a default value."

Strictly speaking, the values are not changed by uncommenting alone. It might be better to use something like "uncommenting overrides default values" (patch attached).

Seems reasonable to me.  Applied, will be in 5.9.  Thanks.

close resolved bugs now that openssh-5.9 has been released
