From f6e13293378efa51cdc50dfd4c11af97354de7ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Simon Tatham <anakin@pobox.com>
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2023 08:57:54 +0000
Subject: Refactor confirm_weak to use SeatDialogText.

This centralises the messages for weak crypto algorithms (general, and
host keys in particular, the latter including a list of all the other
available host key types) into ssh/common.c, in much the same way as
we previously did for ordinary host key warnings.

The reason is the same too: I'm about to want to vary the text in one
of those dialog boxes, so it's convenient to start by putting it
somewhere that I can modify just once.
