aa08e6ca91 Put a layer of abstraction in front of struct ssh_channel.
Clients outside ssh.c - all implementations of Channel - will now not
see the ssh_channel data type itself, but only a subobject of the
interface type SshChannel. All the sshfwd_* functions have become
methods in that interface type's vtable (though, wrapped in the usual
kind of macros, the call sites look identical).

This paves the way for me to split up the SSH-1 and SSH-2 connection
layers and have each one lay out its channel bookkeeping structure as
it sees fit; as long as they each provide an implementation of the
sshfwd_ method family, the types behind that need not look different.

A minor good effect of this is that the sshfwd_ methods are no longer
global symbols, so they don't have to be stubbed in Unix Pageant to
get it to compile.

6a8b9d3813 Replace enum+union of local channel types with a vtable.
There's now an interface called 'Channel', which handles the local
side of an SSH connection-layer channel, in terms of knowing where to
send incoming channel data to, whether to close the channel, etc.

Channel and the previous 'struct ssh_channel' mutually refer. The
latter contains all the SSH-specific parts, and as much of the common
logic as possible: in particular, Channel doesn't have to know
anything about SSH packet formats, or which SSH protocol version is in
use, or deal with all the fiddly stuff about window sizes - with the
exception that x11fwd.c's implementation of it does have to be able to
ask for a small fixed initial window size for the bodgy system that
distinguishes upstream from downstream X forwardings.

I've taken the opportunity to move the code implementing the detailed
behaviour of agent forwarding out of ssh.c, now that all of it is on
the far side of a uniform interface. (This also means that if I later
implement agent forwarding directly to a Unix socket as an
alternative, it'll be a matter of changing just the one call to
agentf_new() that makes the Channel to plug into a forwarding.)
