#179: userauth_hostbased_fromfile() packet too short

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The packet length calculated in src/userauth.c's
 userauth_hostbased_fromfile() function is too short by 4 bytes; it forgets
 to add four bytes for the length of the hostname. This causes hostbased
 authentication to fail, since the server will read junk data.

 The attached patch corrects the issue for me (verified against proftpd's
 mod_sftp module).
