ssh: ignore invalid MACs and KEXs just like we do for ciphers

Tighter validation could cause backwards incompatibility issues, eg
configurations with valid and invalid MACs, KEXs, ciphers currently work
if a supported algorithm is negotiated and that's also the scenario of
removing support for an existing algorithm.

Fixes golang/go#39397
