add this description

    If this option is set to ânoâ (the default) then only addresses and not host names may be used in ~/.ssh/known_hosts from and sshd_config Match Host directives.

to UseDNS option in sshd_config. I believe there should be  authorized_keys  instead of  known_hosts  so it will make sense on the server side, as also the commit message hints:

> for host matching in sshd_config and authorized_keys.

Related to bz#2405 (unlike the commit message referring to bz#2045).
