Change DSA to RSA key in pkg-message

The pkg-message of www/firefox{,-esr} recommends creating a DSA key for SFTP access with gvfs.

Why DSA? Does anybody remember?

OpenSSH 7.0 has finally deprecated DSA keys and disabled them by default. It would make more sense to recommend OpenSSH's default key format, i.e., RSA.

I think at one time DSA may have been thought to be more secure. Anyway, committed, thanks!
