44ee7b9e76 Add -pwfile option, a more secure version of -pw.
Similarly to cmdgen's passphrase options, this replaces the password
on the command line with a filename to read the password out of, which
means it can't show up in 'ps' or the Windows task manager.

22fab78376 Tidy up formatting of manpage cross-references.
In most Halibut man pages I write, I have a standard convention of
referring to another man page by wrapping the page name in \cw and the
section number in \e, leaving the parentheses un-marked-up. Apparently
I forgot in this particular collection.

b14c3443d3 Document -proxycmd in help and man pages.
Also, in the main documentation, note the hazard that backslashes in the
command argument must be doubled.

bb97e17473 Fix missing options in man pages.
None of them documented -4, -6, -noagent, or -agent.
Ask document 'plink -nc host:port'.

a454399ec8 Rationalise and document log options somewhat.
TOOLTYPE_NONNETWORK (i.e. pterm) already has "-log" (as does Unix
PuTTY), so there's no sense suppressing the synonym "-sessionlog".

Undocumented lacunae that remain:

plink accepts -sessionlog, but does nothing with it. Arguably it should.

puttytel accepts -sshlog/-sshrawlog (and happily logs e.g. Telnet
negotiation, as does PuTTY proper).

36fc6c0a76 Try to make our PGP signing more useful:
* All the PuTTY tools for Windows and Unix now contain the fingerprints of
   the Master Keys. The method for accessing them is crude but universal:
   a new "-pgpfp" command-line option. (Except Unix PuTTYgen, which takes
   "--pgpfp" just to be awkward.)

 * Move the key policy discussion from putty-website/keys.html to
   putty/doc/pgpkeys.but, and autogenerate the former from the latter.
   Also tweak the text somewhat and include the fingerprints of the
   Master Keys themselves.
   (I've merged the existing autogeneration scripts into a single new
   one; I've left the old scripts and keys.html around until such time
   as the webmonster reviews the changes and plumbs in the new script;
   he should remove the old files then.)

ff6e3bc94d Now that Halibut is capable of generating man pages better than I
can do it by hand, I've converted the man page set from Unix PuTTY
into Halibut format, and enhanced the Makefile so it will build
them. At some future point this will also allow me to include the
man pages as an appendix in the main manual (once I _have_ a main
manual for Unix PuTTY).
