 This is in the line of tickets #8488, #8528 and #8537, but not as urgent
 as the key exchange algorithms.

 Standard procedure with hmac-sha-512 is to Encrypt-and-Mac, which might
 lead to some side channel attacks, according to
 https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html

 Encrypt-then-Mac should fix that. Personally I only care about the 512-bit
 version of that MAC, but if it is easy to add, hmac-
 sha2-256-etm at openssh.com can be included as well for compatibility.
