ssh: fix RSA certificate and public key authentication with older clients

After adding support for rsa-sha2-256/512 on the server side some edge
cases started to arise with old clients:

1) public key authentication with gpg-agent < 2.2.6 fails because we
   receive ssh-rsa as signature format and rsa-sha2-256 or rsa-sha2-512
   as algorithm.
   This is a bug in gpg-agent fixed in this commit:

   https://github.com/gpg/gnupg/commit/80b775bdbb852aa4a80292c9357e5b1876110c00

2) certificate authentication fails with OpenSSH 7.2-7.7 because we
   receive ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com as algorithm and rsa-sha2-256
   or rsa-sha2-512 as signature format.

This patch is based on CL 412854 and has been tested with every version
of OpenSSH from 7.1 to 7.9 and OpenSSH 9.3.

Fixes golang/go#53391
