Document SHA2 DH methods in manual pages

Since OpenSSH 7.3 [1], there are new DH key exchange methods, that are offered by default, but they are not mentioned in any manual page.

The proposed patch adjust the documentation to reflect the default list of offered key exchange algorithms, based on the myproposal.h.
