  1. Add the old github keys as revoked

    The patch to update the bundled ssh github host key did not
    change anything for users who already had connected to github
    one time before via ssh: if the attacker had access to the old
    key, they'd be vulnerable to MITM attacks as their known_hosts
    file would list the old github key. Only if they connected
    again to github without attacker access, or if they saw the
    announcement of the key rotation, they would update their key.
    
    There is sadly no other way to distribute revocations of old host
    keys to clients other than to bundle them with client software.
