Windows: inhibit all default application manifests.

Browse Source 
In 0.81 and before, we put an application manifest (XML-formatted
Windows resource) into all the GUI tools on purpose, and the CLI tools
like Plink didn't have one. But in 0.82, the CLI tools do have one,
and it's a small default one we didn't write ourselves, inserted by
some combination of cmake and clang-imitating-MSVC (I haven't checked
which of those is the cause).

This appears to have happened as a side effect of a build-tools
update, not on purpose. And its effect is that Windows XP now objects
to our plink.exe, because it's very picky about manifest format (we
have an old 'xp-wont-run' bug record about that).

Since it seemed to work fine to not have a manifest at all in 0.81,
let's go back to that. We were already passing /manifest:no to inhibit
the default manifest in the GUI tools, to stop it fighting with our
custom one; now I've moved /manifest:no into the global linker flags,
so it's applied to _all_ binaries, whether we're putting our own
manifest in or not.
