Noteworthy changes (not all options accessible through ptxdist menu):

- added support for ed25519 hostkeys and authorized_keys
- added support for chacha20-poly1305 authenticated cipher
- added support for and rsa-sha2 signatures
- disabled some options by default (kconfig defaults adapted accordingly)
- fix idle detection clashing with keepalives
- scp fix for CVE-2018-20685 where a server could modify name of output
  files
- Call fsync() is called on parent directory when writing key files to
  ensure they are flushed

One especially important change:

> Use getrandom() call on Linux to ensure sufficient entropy has been
> gathered at startup.  Dropbear now avoids reading from the random
> source at startup, instead waiting until the first connection. It is
> possible that some platforms were running without enough entropy
> previously, those could potentially block at first boot generating
> host keys.  The dropbear "-R" option is one way to avoid that.

On older toolchains/kernel headers/kernels without getrandom() support,
dropbear should behave like before.

The curve25519 implementation was replaced with the one by TweetNaCl,
which induced a change in 'LICENSE' summary.  The old implementation was
licensed BSD-3-Clause and the new is public domain.

The bundled libtommath changed its license from dual license (public
domain || WTFPL) to 'Unlicense' which is also a public domain license,
but with a differently worded license text and an actual SPDX
identifier.
