Error messages update. It's now abundantly clear that WSAECONNABORTED

Browse Source 
is not the same thing as ECONNABORTED, so I've removed the `we're a
bit confused about this, send us details' text. And someone has just
been confused by `connection timed out', so I've added that too.

\H{errors-connaborted} \q{Network error: Software caused connection
abort}
In modern versions of PuTTY, you should not see this error.
This error occurs when the Windows network code decides that your
network connection is dead. For example, it will happen if you pull
the network cable out of the back of an Ethernet-connected computer,
or if Windows has any other similar reason to believe the entire
network has become unreachable.
Windows's documentation about this error condition is not very good,
but as far as we can tell, this error occurs when PuTTY is listening
on a port, another program makes a connection to that port, but
closes the connection so fast that PuTTY has no time to answer it.
PuTTY only ever listens on a port when it is doing local-to-remote
port forwarding (see \k{using-port-forwarding}); and if an incoming
connection on that port receives this error, PuTTY should simply
close the connection and continue without error.
If you see this error in PuTTY 0.53 or above, we would welcome a
report of the circumstances.
We are not aware of any reason why this error might occur that would
represent a bug in PuTTY. The problem is between you, your Windows
system, your network and the remote system.

Check that you are connecting with the correct protocol (SSH, Telnet
or Rlogin), and check that the port number is correct. If that
fails, consult the administrator of your server.
\H{errors-connrefused} \q{Network error: Connection timed out}
This error means that the network connection PuTTY tried to make to
your server received no response at all from the server. Usually
this happens because the server machine is completely isolated from
the network, or because it is turned off.
Check that you have correctly entered the host name or IP address of
your server machine. If that fails, consult the administrator of
your server.
