Bug Description
Recently Krusader can't connect to server over sftp.
`no match for method mac algo client->server`
AFAICS this is caused because new servers disabled sha1 for security reasons and Krusader (KIO) only supports hmac-sha1.
Krusader uses KIO -> libssh.
AFAICS the new libssh library supports the new sha256/sha512.
We need a fix/update badly, Krusader stopped connecting, and the method it uses seems to be insecure nowadays (AFAIK).
