[Bug 278825] ssh-keygen: default type of key is changed to ed25519 with 15-CURRENT but is still rsa with 13-STABLE and 14-STABLE

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278825

--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
Support for ed25519 keys may not be sufficiently widespread yet (among ssh
servers that users need to connect to); my intent is to make incremental
improvement in main (choosing better algorithms by default and deprecating old
ones) while avoiding surprises or regressions for users of stable branches and
releases.

If/when we're confident that ed25519 support is sufficiently common this can be
merged to the stable branches.
