The input-xen documentation currently recommends a system-wide crypto
policy downgrade (to LEGACY) for connecting to RHEL5 sshd. Replace the
recommendation with the individual ssh options that enable this kind of
connection.

While investigating this (for RHBZ#2062360), I found that, for
RHBZ#1854275, I had missed a call chain in virt-v2v where libvirt
launched "ssh", and therefore the "-ip" option would be relevant.
Because "-ip" does not work there, first copy the respective caveat from
the input-vmware documentation to input-xen.

Thanks
Laszlo

  input-xen: sync "-ip" limitations language from input-vmware manual
  input-xen: replace "enable LEGACY crypto" advice with targeted ssh
    options
