    sshd_config: clarify password authentication options

    Passwords may be accepted by both the PasswordAuthentication and
    KbdInteractiveAuthentication authentication schemes.  Add a reference to
    the latter in the description/comment for PasswordAuthentication, as it
    otherwise may seem that "PasswordAuthentication no" implies passwords
    will be disallowed.

    This situation should be clarified with more extensive documentation on
    the authentication schemes and configuration options, but that should be
    done in coordination with upstream OpenSSH.  This is a minimal change
    that will hopefully clarify the situation without requiring an extensive
    local patch set.
