Subject: [PATCH] Fix version number when ssh client is not available

Old sshd do not know about "-V" but output help output - with SSH
version number (without pX). Works because stderr is redirected to stdin
and output of version string looks familiar to grep expressions :)

% sshd -V
unknown option -- V
