There is a need to increase RSA key requirements to make the installations

because it may significantly break legacy systems compatibility. This PR
[1] introduces a new configuration option MinRSABits to be managed for
security's sake.

If this approach is OK for upstream, please let me know and I will improve
this PR according to the feedback.

I realize that with the *current* selection of algorithms available in OpenSSH, fine-grained control of minimum key size almost(!) is an RSA-only topic, but nonetheless I wonder whether newly-defined config syntax thereto should be aimed at extensibility to other cryptalgorithms ...
