Patch for openssh-3.9p1, but should apply on current sources as well

Originaly reported here by David Tonhofer:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426596

0) The man page generator on Red Hat does not like the '.Aq' tag which
  appears in front of the Author mail addresses? Removed.

1) Added the text: 
  When copying a source file to a target file which already exists, scp
  will replace the contents of the target file (keeping the inode).
  If the target file does not yet exist, an empty file with the target
  file name is created, then filled with the source file contents.  No
  attempt is made at "near-atomic" transfer using temporary files.

I don't see why this is needed.  It behaves the same way as cp(1) does
and there's nary a mention on its man page.

I agree - atomic replacements are the exception and not the rule so I
see no need to document that we are behaving normally.
