Rename NTRU Prime / Curve25519 kex in UI.
The previous name, which included '(quantum-resistant)', was too long to
be completely seen in the Windows config dialog's kex list (which is
narrower than the Gtk one, due to the Up/Down buttons). No point
including that explanation if people can't actually read it, so we'll
have to rely on docs to explain it.
(I did try squashing the rest of the name to "SNTRUP/X25519 hybrid", but
that wasn't enough.)
As some sort of compensation, index it more thoroughly in the docs, and
while I'm there, tweak the indexing of other key exchange algorithms
too.
