Soften behaviour of the Compression=no/yes option
Currently Compression=no (the default) force-disables zlib algos, while Compression=yes force-enables it. This means that mismatching options between client and server lead to connection failure. This can easily happen if the server has default settings but the client specifies Compression=yes.
OpenSSH treats the option as a "prefer compression" setting:
Compression=no -> none,zlib@openssh.com,zlib (default)
Compression=yes -> zlib@openssh.com,zlib,none
This commit changes the libssh behaviour to the same as OpenSSH.
