a59c127441a8ae2ad9b0fb300ab36a6558bba697 ssh: rationalize rekeying decisions.
1) Always force a key exchange if we exchange 2^31 packets. In the past
this might not happen if RekeyThreshold was set to a very large
interval.
2) Follow recommendations from RFC 4344 for block ciphers. For AES, we
can encrypt 2^(blocksize/4) blocks under the same keys.
On modern hardware, the previous default of 1Gb could force a key
exchange within ~10 seconds. Since the key exchange takes 3 roundtrips
(send kex init, send DH init, send NEW_KEYS), this is relatively
expensive on high-latency links.
