This PR modifies the default SSH client configuration related to key exchange algorithms.
When using GEX (Group Exchange) algorithms, the underlying SSH library enforces a minimum key size greater than 3000 bits (reference). This causes the key exchange negotiation to fail on some legacy devices (p.e, MikroTik routers running older versions of RouterOS). These devices only support a maximum of 2048 bits.
With this change, the SSH client configuration is adjusted to allow compatibility with these systems, enabling successful SSH connections while maintaining existing behavior for supported environments.
