Subject: [PATCH] docs: Remove paragraph about -ip passwords and ssh/scp
The documentation suggested (correctly) that the -ip option did not
cover all cases where we make an ssh connection to either VMware or
Xen. However with the recent change where we use nbdkit-ssh-plugin in
preference to ssh/scp (commit fb72e05986, "virt-v2v: -i vmx: Replace
external ssh/scp with nbdkit-ssh-plugin") this should no longer be
true for VMware. And I don't think it was true for Xen for a while.
Therefore remove this paragraph in the documentation (in two places).

With some modern ssh implementations, legacy crypto algorithms required
to interoperate with RHEL 5 sshd are disabled. To enable them, you may
need to add the following C<Host> stanza to your F<~/.ssh/config>:
