Re-work the SSH implementation in VM Explorer, so that it works with ESXi 6.7 Build 17167734

VM Explorer 7.1.003

After upgrading to VMware ESXi, 6.7.0 (Build 17167734), VM Explorer cannot connect to ESXi using SCP/SSH.

Workaround:

1. On the ESXi add the following line to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

2. Restart the ssh service:
/etc/init.d/SSH restart

We need a code change in VM Explorer to reflect this change, so that it is no longer required to edit the sshd_config file on the ESXi Server.
