RFC 4253 section 4.2 allows an ssh server to send additional lines
before its server identification string. Apache MINA sshd enforces
for these lines the constraints specified for the server identification
line, too: no NUL characters and not longer than 255 characters. That
is too strict. RFC 4253 doesn't mandate this, and it also doesn't
make sense given the rationale for these lines in RFC 4253: a TCP
wrapper may not be aware of SSH restrictions, and may not adhere to
these constraints.
Be more lenient when parsing the server's protocol version. Allow
NULs and longer lines in the preamble, and also handle line endings
more leniently. Only enforce the restrictions for the actual server
identification line.
