    Put HMAC-SHA-512 below HMAC-SHA-256 in priority.
    
    For the same reason that diffie-hellman-group18 goes below group16:
    it's useful to _have_ it there, in case a server demands it, but under
    normal circumstances it seems like overkill and a waste of CPU.
    SHA-256 is not only intrinsically faster, it's also more likely to be
    hardware-accelerated, so PuTTY's preference is to use that if possible
    and SHA-512 only if necessary.
