I have found that "diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256" support has
been added to the libssh2 code on September 24, it's not released yet.
Please check https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/pull/48 . Today I have
tried to update the libssh2, but facing some compilation issues which needs
to be fixed. I am working on it and then check do we need to change our
logic or libssh2 will automatically used "diffie-hellman
-group-exchange-sha256".
