1d323d5c80 Add an actual SSH server program.
This server is NOT SECURE! If anyone is reading this commit message,
DO NOT DEPLOY IT IN A HOSTILE-FACING ENVIRONMENT! Its purpose is to
speak the server end of everything PuTTY speaks on the client side, so
that I can test that I haven't broken PuTTY when I reorganise its
code, even things like RSA key exchange or chained auth methods which
it's hard to find a server that speaks at all.

(For this reason, it's declared with [UT] in the Recipe file, so that
it falls into the same category as programs like testbn, which won't
be installed by 'make install'.)

Working title is 'Uppity', partly for 'Universal PuTTY Protocol
Interaction Test Yoke', but mostly because it looks quite like the
word 'PuTTY' with part of it reversed. (Apparently 'test yoke' is a
very rarely used term meaning something not altogether unlike 'test
harness', which is a bit of a stretch, but it'll do.)

It doesn't actually _support_ everything I want yet. At the moment,
it's a proof of concept only. But it has most of the machinery
present, and the parts it's missing - such as chained auth methods -
should be easy enough to add because I've built in the required
flexibility, in the form of an AuthPolicy object which can request
them if it wants to. However, the current AuthPolicy object is
entirely trivial, and will let in any user with the password "weasel".

(Another way in which this is not a production-ready server is that it
also has no interaction with the OS's authentication system. In
particular, it will not only let in any user with the same password,
but it won't even change uid - it will open shells and forwardings
under whatever user id you started it up as.)

Currently, the program can only speak the SSH protocol on its standard
I/O channels (using the new FdSocket facility), so if you want it to
listen on a network port, you'll have to run it from some kind of
separate listening program similar to inetd. For my own tests, I'm not
even doing that: I'm just having PuTTY spawn it as a local proxy
process, which also conveniently eliminates the risk of anyone hostile
connecting to it.

The bulk of the actual code reorganisation is already done by previous
commits, so this change is _mostly_ just dropping in a new set of
server-specific source files alongside the client-specific ones I
created recently. The remaining changes in the shared SSH code are
numerous, but all minor:

 - a few extra parameters to BPP and PPL constructors (e.g. 'are you
   in server mode?'), and pass both sets of SSH-1 protocol flags from
   the login to the connection layer
 - in server mode, unconditionally send our version string _before_
   waiting for the remote one
 - a new hook in the SSH-1 BPP to handle enabling compression in
   server mode, where the message exchange works the other way round
 - new code in the SSH-2 BPP to do _deferred_ compression the other
   way round (the non-deferred version is still nicely symmetric)
 - in the SSH-2 transport layer, some adjustments to do key derivation
   either way round (swapping round the identifying letters in the
   various hash preimages, and making sure to list the KEXINITs in the
   right order)
 - also in the SSH-2 transport layer, an if statement that controls
   whether we send SERVICE_REQUEST and wait for SERVICE_ACCEPT, or
   vice versa
 - new ConnectionLayer methods for opening outgoing channels for X and
   agent forwardings
 - new functions in portfwd.c to establish listening sockets suitable
   for remote-to-local port forwarding (i.e. not under the direction
   of a Conf the way it's done on the client side).

9fe719f47d Server prep: parse a lot of new channel requests.
ssh2connection.c now knows how to unmarshal the message formats for
all the channel requests we'll need to handle when we're the server
and a client sends them. Each one is translated into a call to a new
method in the Channel vtable, which is implemented by a trivial
'always fail' routine in every channel type we know about so far.

b94c6a7e38 Move client-specific SSH code into new files.
This is a major code reorganisation in preparation for making this
code base into one that can build an SSH server as well as a client.

(Mostly for purposes of using the server as a regression test suite
for the client, though I have some other possible uses in mind too.
However, it's currently no part of my plan to harden the server to the
point where it can sensibly be deployed in a hostile environment.)

In this preparatory commit, I've broken up the SSH-2 transport and
connection layers, and the SSH-1 connection layer, into multiple
source files, with each layer having its own header file containing
the shared type definitions. In each case, the new source file
contains code that's specific to the client side of the protocol, so
that a new file can be swapped in in its place when building the
server.

Mostly this is just a straightforward moving of code without changing
it very much, but there are a couple of actual changes in the process:

The parsing of SSH-2 global-request and channel open-messages is now
done by a new pair of functions in the client module. For channel
opens, I've invented a new union data type to be the return value from
that function, representing either failure (plus error message),
success (plus Channel instance to manage the new channel), or an
instruction to hand the channel over to a sharing downstream (plus a
pointer to the downstream in question).

Also, the tree234 of remote port forwardings in ssh2connection is now
initialised on first use by the client-specific code, so that's where
its compare function lives. The shared ssh2connection_free() still
takes responsibility for freeing it, but now has to check if it's
non-null first.

The outer shell of the ssh2_lportfwd_open method, for making a
local-to-remote port forwarding, is still centralised in
ssh2connection.c, but the part of it that actually constructs the
outgoing channel-open message has moved into the client code, because
that will have to change depending on whether the channel-open has to
have type direct-tcpip or forwarded-tcpip.

In the SSH-1 connection layer, half the filter_queue method has moved
out into the new client-specific code, but not all of it -
bidirectional channel maintenance messages are still handled
centrally. One exception is SSH_MSG_PORT_OPEN, which can be sent in
both directions, but with subtly different semantics - from server to
client, it's referring to a previously established remote forwarding
(and must be rejected if there isn't one that matches it), but from
client to server it's just a "direct-tcpip" request with no prior
context. So that one is in the client-specific module, and when I add
the server code it will have its own different handler.
