Michael Tremer 0a5823db02 ssh: Revert MaxAuthTries setting
This is entirely not practicable and should have been changed
before. I missed this when I tested the configuration.

It is common that multiple SSH keys exist and three is common
number (RSA, ECDSA & Ed25519). A key passed with ssh -i and
password authentication are not even tried.
