Support running UNIX Pageant in foreground mode, without debugging output

Browse Source 
This new mode makes it easy to run Pageant as a "supervised" instance,
e.g. as part of a test harness for other programs interacting with an
SSH agent, which is the original use case. Because Pageant is then
running as a child process of the supervisor, the operating system
notifies the supervisor of the child's aliveness without resorting to
PIDs or socket addresses, both of which may principally run stale and/or
get recycled.

for debugging what Pageant itself is doing, or what another process is
doing to it.
\dt \cw{--foreground}
\dd Like \cw{--debug}, Pageant will run in the foreground, without
forking. It will print its environment variable setup commands on
standard output. Unlike \cw{--debug}, Pageant will not automatically log
agent activity to standard output, nor will it force passphrase prompts
to standard input. This is useful if Pageant is spawned by a parent
process that controls or otherwise programmatically interfaces with
Pageant.
