kex: Use all supported hostkey algorithms for negotiation

Previously, only the algorithms we had a keys for in known_hosts
were used, which could lead to no-matching algorithms errors if the
one key we used to depend on was removed from the server.

This commit adds also the other algorithms, but lists them only after
all the key types we have in known_hosts file.

Resolves: T105
