Feature Request: Add support for sha-2 family hash algorithms for key exchange (RFC 8268)

Due to concerns with SHA-1 and with MODP groups with less than 2048 bits, RFC 8268 suggests to add 5 new key exchange algorithms:

  • diffie-hellman-group14-sha256
  • diffie-hellman-group15-sha512
  • diffie-hellman-group16-sha512
  • diffie-hellman-group17-sha512
  • diffie-hellman-group18-sha512

Currently, non of these new key exchange algorithms is present in x/crypto/ssh. For diffie-hellman-group14-sha256 the RFC states it SHOULD be supported to smooth the transition to newer group sizes.

But why? There are a number of more modern kexes based on elliptic curves, which are faster to process and (AFAIK) as secure.

RFC 9142 made diffie-hellman-group14-sha256 from RFC 8268 a MUST, and
it's strictly better than diffie-hellman-group14-sha1, which we already
have, and trivial to add.

> The method of key exchange used for the name "diffie-hellman-
> group14-sha256" is the same as that for "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1"
> except that the SHA256 hash algorithm is used.

Ignore the bigger groups which have a meaningful performance cost, and
don't share the same interoperability benefit.

Adapted from CL 387994.

Fixes golang/go#31731
