Update fail2ban documentation (#16286)

Browse source 
Following the merge of #16278 we need to update the fail2ban
documentation to take account of the availability of the new
sshConnectionFailed failed authentication attempt log message.

Also add a deprecation notice regarding the previous publicKeyHandler
messages, as these may be a source of false positives.
