Now we have licence.pl, it seems to me to make very good sense to have
it generate the Halibut form(s) of the licence and copyright year as
well as the source-code forms.
As a result, I believe _no_ copies of the licence text or copyright
date exist any more except for the master one in LICENCE - so I can
completely remove the checklist section about all the places to update
it, because there's only one. Hooray!
(cherry picked from commit 774d37a0dc)
Conflicts:
doc/licence.but
(cherry-picker's note: the conflict was just because the deleted file
didn't have identical contents)
Now all the uses of the licence text or the short copyright notice get
it from a new header "licence.h", which in turn is built by a Perl
script licence.pl invoked by mkfiles.pl, using LICENCE itself as the
source.
Hence, I can completely remove a whole section from the list of
licence locations in CHECKLST.txt :-)

Conflicts:
unix/gtkdlg.c
windows/winpgnt.c
(cherry-picker's notes: one conflict was just changed context, the
other was deleting a copy of the licence that wasn't quite the same
between branches)
encodelib.py is a Python library which implements some handy SSH-2
encoding primitives; samplekex.py uses that to fabricate the start of
an SSH connection, up to the point where key exchange totally fails
its crypto.
The idea is that you adapt samplekex.py to construct initial-kex
sequences with particular properties, in order to test robustness and
security fixes that affect the initial-kex sequence. For example, I
used an adaptation of this to test the Diffie-Hellman range check
that's just gone into 0.64.
