Building with -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, we now suffer only one compile
failure, for the use of gtk_quit_add() in idle_toplevel_callback_func.
That function is apparently removed with no replacement in GTK 3, so
I'll need to find a completely different approach to getting toplevel
callbacks to run only in the outermost instance of gtk_main().
Also, this change doesn't do anything about the use of *GDK*
deprecated functions, because those include the entire family of
old-style drawing functions - i.e. the only way to build cleanly with
-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED will be to switch to Cairo drawing.
On GTK versions where it's available, this is a much nicer way of
handling the -geometry command-line option, since not only do we get
all the faffing about with gravity for free, it also automatically
sets the user-position WM hints.
I've put in a special #define to control this selection, in case I
decide that for reasons of taste I'd prefer to switch back to
GtkFileSelection in GTK2 which supports both!
Replaces the deprecated gtk_color_selection_set_color() which took an
array of four doubles (RGBA), and instead takes a 'GdkColor' struct
containing four 16-bit integers.
For GTK1, we still have to retain the original version.
All the things like GtkType, GtkObject, gtk_signal_connect and so on
should now consistently have the new-style glib names like GType,
GObject, g_signal_connect, etc.
A major aim of introducing GTK 3 support is to permit compiling for
non-X11 platforms that GTK 3 supports, so I'm going to need to be able
to build as a pure GTK application with no use of X11 internals.
Naturally, I don't intend to stop supporting the hybrid GTK+X11 mode
in which X server-side bitmap fonts are available.
Use of X11 can be removed by compiling with -DNOT_X_WINDOWS. That's
the same compatibility flag that was already used by the unfinished OS
X port to disable the X-specific parts of uxpty.c; now it just applies
to more source files.
(There's no 'configure' option to set this flag at present. I haven't
worked out whether we'll need one yet.)
GTK 2 doesn't _documentedly_ provide a helpful compile option to let
us check this one in advance of GTK 3, but you can fake one anyway by
compiling with -D__GDK_KEYSYMS_COMPAT_H__, so that gdkkeysyms-compat.h
will believe that it's already been included :-) We now build cleanly
under GTK 2 with that predefine.
This is the first of several cleanup steps recommended by the GTK 2->3
migration guide.
I intend to begin work towards compatibility with GTK 3, but without
breaking GTK 2 and even GTK 1 compatibility in the process; GTK 2 is
still useful to _me_ (not least because it permits much easier support
of old-style server-side X11 fonts), and I recall hearing a rumour
that at least one kind of strange system can only run GTK 1, so for
the moment I don't intend to stop supporting either.
Including gdkkeysyms.h is not optional in GTK 2, because gdk.h does
not include it. In GTK 3 it does, so we don't explicitly reinclude it
ourselves.
We now build cleanly in GTK2 with -DGTK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES. (But
that doesn't say much, because we did already! Apparently gdkkeysyms.h
was a special case which that #define didn't forbid.)
This is less than ideal - passphrase input now happens in ISO 8859-1,
and the passphrase prompt window is neither centred nor always-on-top.
But it basically works, and restores bare-minimum GTK 1 support to the
codebase as a whole.
If you're counting up to ms_limit in steps of ms_step, it's silly to
add ms_step at the end of the loop body _and_ increment the loop
variable by 1 in the loop header. I must have been half asleep.
The general plan is that if PuTTY knows a host key for a server, it
should preferentially ask for the same type of key so that there's some
chance of actually getting the same key again. This should mean that
when a server (or PuTTY) adds a new host key type, PuTTY doesn't
gratuitously switch to that key type and then warn the user about an
unrecognised key.
An unguarded write() in the dputs function caused gcc -Werror to fail
to compile. I'm confused that this hasn't bitten me before, though -
obviously normal builds of PuTTY condition out the faulty code, but
_surely_ this can't be the first time I've enabled the developer
diagnostics since gcc started complaining about unchecked syscall
returns!
When anyone connects to a PuTTY tool's listening socket - whether it's
a user of a local->remote port forwarding, a connection-sharing
downstream or a client of Pageant - we'd like to log as much
information as we can find out about where the connection came from.
To that end, I've implemented a function sk_peer_info() in the socket
abstraction, which returns a freeform text string as best it can (or
NULL, if it can't get anything at all) describing the thing at the
other end of the connection. For TCP connections, this is done using
getpeername() to get an IP address and port in the obvious way; for
Unix-domain sockets, we attempt SO_PEERCRED (conditionalised on some
moderately hairy autoconfery) to get the pid and owner of the peer. I
haven't implemented anything for Windows named pipes, but I will if I
hear of anything useful.
Caused an embarrassing failure just now trying to run the test program
from a command prompt - I had Return still held down by the time it
started up, and my release of it immediately terminated input :-)
Having found a lot of unfixed constness issues in recent development,
I thought perhaps it was time to get proactive, so I compiled the
whole codebase with -Wwrite-strings. That turned up a huge load of
const problems, which I've fixed in this commit: the Unix build now
goes cleanly through with -Wwrite-strings, and the Windows build is as
close as I could get it (there are some lingering issues due to
occasional Windows API functions like AcquireCredentialsHandle not
having the right constness).
Notable fallout beyond the purely mechanical changing of types:
- the stuff saved by cmdline_save_param() is now explicitly
dupstr()ed, and freed in cmdline_run_saved.
- I couldn't make both string arguments to cmdline_process_param()
const, because it intentionally writes to one of them in the case
where it's the argument to -pw (in the vain hope of being at least
slightly friendly to 'ps'), so elsewhere I had to temporarily
dupstr() something for the sake of passing it to that function
- I had to invent a silly parallel version of const_cmp() so I could
pass const string literals in to lookup functions.
- stripslashes() in pscp.c and psftp.c has the annoying strchr nature
All the name strings in ssh_cipher, ssh_mac, ssh_hash, ssh_signkey
point to compile-time string literals, hence should obviously be const
char *.
Most of these const-correctness patches are just a mechanical job of
adding a 'const' in the one place you need it right now, and then
chasing the implications through the code adding further consts until
it compiles. But this one has actually shown up a bug: the 'algorithm'
output parameter in ssh2_userkey_loadpub was sometimes returning a
pointer to a string literal, and sometimes a pointer to dynamically
allocated memory, so callers were forced to either sometimes leak
memory or sometimes free a bad thing. Now it's consistently
dynamically allocated, and should be freed everywhere too.
I've written my own analogue of OpenSSH's ssh-askpass. At the moment,
it's contained inside Pageant proper, though it could easily be
compiled into a standalone binary as well or instead.
Unlike OpenSSH's version, I don't use a GTK edit box; instead I just
process key events myself and append them to a buffer. The big
advantage of doing this is that I can arrange for ^W and ^U to
function as they do in terminal line editing, i.e. delete a word or
delete the whole line.
^W in particular is really valuable when typing a multiple-word
passphrase unseen. If you feel yourself making the kind of typo in
which you're not sure if you pressed six keys or just five, you can
hit ^W and restart just that word, without either having to go right
back to the beginning or carry on and see if you feel lucky.
A delete-word function would of course be an information leak in even
an obscured edit box (displaying a blob per character), so instead I
give a visual acknowledgment of keypresses by a more ad-hoc means: I
display three lights in the box, and every meaningful keypress turns
off the currently active one and instead turns on a randomly selected
one of the others. (So the lit light doesn't even indicate _mod 3_ how
many keys have been pressed.)
I had freed the comment string coming back from pageant_add_keyfile,
but not NULLed out the pointer, so that the cleanup code at the end of
the function would have freed it again.
I've decided against implementing an option exactly analogous to
'ssh-add -L' (printing the full public key of everything in the
agent). Instead, you can identify a specific key to display in full,
by any of the same means -d lets you use, and then print it in either
of the public key formats we support.
Unlike ssh-add, we can identify the key by its comment or by a prefix
of its fingerprint as well as using a public key file on disk. The
string given as an argument to -d is interpreted as whichever of those
things matches; disambiguating prefixes are available if needed.
You can now load keys at Pageant init time, by putting the key file
names as bare arguments on the command line, e.g. 'pageant -T key.ppk'
or 'pageant key.ppk --exec some command'; also, 'pageant -a key.ppk'
behaves more or less like ssh-add, contacting an existing agent to add
the key.
The askpass() function currently supports terminal-based prompting
only. X11 askpass is yet to be implemented.
This brings in the code we'll need to request passphrases from the
terminal, and to talk to an existing SSH agent as a client.
Adding uxcons.c required adjusting the set of stub functions in
uxpgnt.c: uxcons.c removed the need for several, but added one of its
own (log_eventlog). A net win, though.
I've moved the setup and running of the actual agent server into
run_agent(), so that main() is now only command-line parsing and
validation. We recognise a collection of new command-line options for
talking to an existing agent as a client (analogous to ssh-add), which
go to a new run_client() function, but I haven't filled in that
function itself yet.
This is only intended for use in Unix Pageant; for any application
that's actually trying to get something else useful done at the same
time as the agent request is pending, it's much more sensible to use
the more rigorous existing approach of requesting a callback once the
agent request is answered.
Adding this mode is the easiest way to allow Unix Pageant's
command-line key loading to work, but it doesn't solve the underlying
problem that the supposedly cross-platform pageant_add_keyfile will
not work on a platform where we really _are_ constrained to do agent
requests asynchronously (perhaps because we're a GUI app in some
system that doesn't let us control our own top-level event loop).
If and when that situation arises, I'll have no choice but to turn
pageant_add_keyfile and friends (specifically, any function in
pageant.c that calls agent_query) into coroutine-structured functions,
and have clients call them repeatedly until they return 'finished'.
But for now, this is a lot easier!
Now --exec instantly terminates option processing, by treating
everything after it as the command. This means it doesn't matter if
the --exec command word looks like another option, and it also means
we can simplify the handling of real non-option argument words, when I
get round to adding some for loading keys.
This is intended to be a useful mode when you want to run an ssh agent
in a terminal session with no X11 available. You just execute a
command along the lines of eval $(pageant -T), and then Pageant will
run in the background for the rest of that terminal session - and when
the terminal session ends, so that Pageant loses its controlling tty,
it will take that as the signal to shut down. So, no need to manually
kill it, and unlike 'pageant --exec $SHELL', you can also do this half
way through a session if you don't realise until later that you need
an SSH agent, without losing any shell command history or other shell
context that you've accumulated so far in the session.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any reliable way to
actually implement this -T mode, short of having Pageant wake up at
regular intervals and try to open /dev/tty to see if it's still there.
I had hoped that I could arrange to reliably get SIGHUP, or select on
/dev/tty for exceptional conditions, or some such, but nothing I've
tried along those lines seems to work.
The last use of it, to store the contents of the saved session name
edit box, was removed nearly two years ago in svn r9923 and replaced
by ctrl_alloc_with_free. The mechanism has been unused ever since
then, and I suspect any further uses of it would be a bad idea for the
same reasons, so let's get rid of it.
The memory dangling off ssd->sesslist should be freed when ssd itself
goes away, and the font settings ctrlset we delete in gtkcfg.c should
be freed as well once it's been removed from its containing array.
Thanks to Ranjini Aravind for pointing these out.
I've moved the listening socket setup back to before the lifetime
preparations, so in particular we find out that we couldn't bind to
the socket _before_ we fork. The only part that really needed to come
after lifetime setup was the logging setup, so that's now a separate
function called later.
Also, the random exit(0)s in silly places like x11_closing have turned
into setting a time_to_die flag, so that all clean exits funnel back
to the end of main() which at least tries to tidy up a bit afterwards.
(Finally, fixed a small bug in testing the return value of waitpid(),
which only showed up once we didn't exit(0) after the first wait.
Ahem.)
Now it actually logs all its requests and responses, the fingerprints
of keys mentioned in all messages, and so on.
I've also added the -v option, which causes Pageant in any mode to
direct that logging information to standard error. In --debug mode,
however, the logging output goes to standard output instead (because
when debugging, that information changes from a side effect to the
thing you actually wanted in the first place :-).
An internal tweak: the logging functions now take a va_list rather
than an actual variadic argument list, so that I can pass it through
several functions.
LIFE_EXEC is already dealt with, and I forgot to take out the comment
reminding me to do it, ahem.
The LIFE_PARENT mentioned in the same comment was an idea I had but
couldn't think of a way to make it work: if you have a terminal-only
shell session in which you want to eval $(ssh-agent), then it's
annoying and fragile to have to remember to kill the agent when you
log out, so you'd like it to automatically tie its lifetime to that of
the shell from which you invoked it. Unfortunately, I don't know of
any way to do that without race conditions. (E.g. if only pageant
didn't fork, then it could poll its own ppid until it became 1 - but
the child process would find it was 1 already.)
This is much more like ssh-agent than the Windows version is - it sets
SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID as its means of being found by other
processes, rather than Windows Pageant's approach of establishing
itself in a well-known location. But the actual agent code is the same
as Windows Pageant.
For the moment, this is an experimental utility and I don't expect it
to be useful to many people; its immediate use to me is that it
provides a way to test and debug the agent code on Unix, and also to
use the agent interface as a convenient way to exercise public key
functions I want to debug. And of course it means I can be constantly
using and testing my own code, on whatever platform I happen to be
using. In the further future, I have a list of possible features I
might add to it, but I don't know which ones I'll decide are
worthwhile.
One feature I've already put in is a wider range of lifetime
management options than ssh-agent: the -X mode causes Pageant to make
a connection to your X display, and automatically terminate when that
connection closes, so that it has the same lifetime as your X session
without having to do the cumbersome trick of exec()ing the subsequent
session-management process.
It tries to use the local username as the remote username if it has no
better ideas, but the presence of Default Settings would defeat this,
even if it had no username set. Reported by Jonathan Amery.
If we use getaddrinfo to translate the source IP address into a
sockaddr, then we need to freeaddrinfo the returned data later. Patch
due to Tim Kosse.
I don't think anyone has ever actually called it that, colloquially
_or_ formally, and if anyone ever did (in a bug report, say) I'd
probably have to stop and think to work out what they meant. It's
universally called Plink, and should be officially so as well :-)
I'm not actually sure why we've always had back ends notify ldisc of
changes to echo/edit settings by giving ldisc_send(ldisc,NULL,0,0) a
special meaning, instead of by having a separate dedicated notify
function with its own prototype and parameter set. Coverity's recent
observation that the two kinds of call don't even have the same
requirements on the ldisc (particularly, whether ldisc->term can be
NULL) makes me realise that it's really high time I separated the two
conceptually different operations into actually different functions.
While I'm here, I've renamed the confusing ldisc_update() function
which that special operation ends up feeding to, because it's not
actually a function applying to an ldisc - it applies to a front end.
So ldisc_send(ldisc,NULL,0,0) is now ldisc_echoedit_update(ldisc), and
that in turn figures out the current echo/edit settings before passing
them on to frontend_echoedit_update(). I think that should be clearer.
I had initially assumed that, since all of a user's per-connection
subdirectories live inside a top-level putty-connshare.$USER directory
that's not accessible to anyone else, there would be no need to
obfuscate the names of the internal directories for privacy, because
nobody would be able to look at them anyway.
Unfortunately, that's not true: 'netstat -ax' run by any user will
show up the full pathnames of Unix-domain sockets, including pathname
components that you wouldn't have had the access to go and look at
directly. So the Unix connection sharing socket names do need to be
obfuscated after all.
Since Unix doesn't have Windows's CryptProtectMemory, we have to do
this manually, by creating a file of random salt data inside the
top-level putty-connshare directory (if there isn't one there already)
and then hashing that salt with the "user@host" connection identifier
to get the socket directory name. What a pain.

I'm about to add a list box which expects to contain some very long
but uninformative strings, and which is also quite vertically squashed
so there's not much room for a horizontal scroll bar to appear in it.
So here's an option in the list box specification structure which
causes the constructed GTKTreeView to use the 'ellipsize' option for
all its cell renderers, i.e. too-long strings are truncated with an
ellipsis.
Windows needs no change, because its list boxes already work this way.

Robert de Bath points out that failure to remove the timer whose
callback returned FALSE may not have been the cause of runaway timer
explosion; another possibility is that a function called from
timer_trigger()'s call to run_timers() has already set a timer up by
the time run_timers() returns, and then we set another one up on top
of it. Fix that too.
[originally from svn r10206]
Mihkel Ader reports that on that system, timers apparently aren't
getting auto-destroyed when timer_trigger returns FALSE, so the change
in r10181 has caused GTK PuTTY to gradually allocate more and more
timers and consume more and more CPU as they all keep firing.
As far as I can see, this must surely be a bug in GTK 2 (the docs say
that timers _are_ auto-destroyed when their callback returns false),
and it doesn't seem to happen for me with GTK 2.4.23 on Ubuntu 14.04.
However, I'll try to work around it by _explicitly_ destroying each
old timer before we zero out the variable containing its id.
[originally from svn r10202]
[r10181 == e4c4bd2092]
Timer objects evaporate when our timer_trigger callback is called, and
therefore we should not remember their ids beyond that time and
attempt to cancel them later. Previous versions of GTK silently
ignored us doing that, but upgrading to Ubuntu Trusty has given me a
version of GTK that complains about it, so let's stop doing it.
[originally from svn r10181]
Previously, 'configure' and its assorted machinery lived in the 'unix'
subdir, because that seemed like a clean place to keep it given that
all the other per-platform Makefiles live in their platform
directories. However, this never sat all that happily with autotools,
and even less so now that it likes to have object file pathnames
parallel source file pathnames: if you have Makefile.am refer to
source files outside its subdir as "../terminal.c" and enable
subdir-objects then any out-of-tree build calls the corresponding
object file "../terminal.o" and so your build products mostly end up
at the directory above your build dir! And as of autotools 1.14 my
previous compensatory bodge of prefixing every source file path in
Makefile.am with "$(srcdir)" has stopped working too.
So I'm giving in to necessity, and changing policy by moving the
configure machinery up to the top level of the source tree where
autotools will be less confused by it. This should not be taken as any
indication of the primacy of the Unix port, only of the recalcitrance
of autotools.
Whereas before we had a trivial script called 'configure' at the top
level that invoked unix/configure to effectively do an 'out-of-tree
build' (for make purposes) at the top level of the source tree, we now
have a similar script in unix/configure. So this _should_ make very
little difference: people who were previously running configure from
the top level should still be able to, and likewise people who were
running it from the unix subdir.

I had somehow missed this completely out of the GTK mouse-button
handling and never noticed until now!
Of course, like any other mouse action, if you want it to be handled

One of my changes in uxnet.c was outside the NO_IPV6 ifdef, and broke
compilation in the normal mode. Revert all changes in that file and
replace with a reference to the 'step' parameter in the no-IPv6
version of the SOCKADDR_FAMILY macro, so that those warnings are
squelched anyway.
[originally from svn r10136]
[r10135 == e00a004e64]
A user pointed out that 'family' was uninitialised in config.c, and
when I tried test-building with -DNO_IPV6 (and the usual -Werror, of
course) some unused variables showed up in uxnet.c too.

Both GUI PuTTY front ends have a piece of logic whereby a string is
interpreted as host:port if there's _one_ colon in it, but if there's
more than one colon then it's assumed to be an IPv6 literal with no
trailing port number. This permits the PuTTY command line to take
strings such as 'host', 'host:22' or '[::1]:22', but also cope with a
bare v6 literal such as '::1'.
This logic is also required in the two Plink front ends and in the
processing of CONF_loghost for host key indexing in ssh.c, but was
missing in all those places. Add it.
[originally from svn r10121]
I've gone through everywhere we handle host names / addresses (on
command lines, in PuTTY config, in port forwarding, in X display
names, in host key storage...) and tried to make them handle IPv6
literals sensibly, by using the host_str* functions I introduced in my
previous commit. Generally it's now OK to use a bracketed IPv6 literal
anywhere a hostname might have been valid; in a few cases where no
ambiguity exists (e.g. no :port suffix is permitted anyway)
unbracketed IPv6 literals are also acceptable.
[originally from svn r10120]
I found last week that when a local proxy process terminated
unexpectedly, Unix PuTTY went into a tight loop calling quit
functions, because if idle_toplevel_callback_func is called from
inside a subsidiary gtk_main then it will schedule a quit function and
_not_ disable itself, so that that quit function keeps being
rescheduled on subsequent calls.
To fix, I've tried to make the whole handling of idle and quit
functions more sensibly robust: we keep our own boolean flag
indicating whether each of our functions has already been scheduled
with GTK, and if so, we don't schedule the same one again. Also, when
idle_toplevel_callback_func schedules a quit function, it should
unschedule itself since it's now done everything it can until a
gtk_main instance quits.

The one in Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't know what AM_PROG_AR means, so

I've enabled gcc's format-string checking on dupprintf, by declaring
it in misc.h to have the appropriate GNU-specific attribute. This
pointed out a selection of warnings, which I've fixed.
[originally from svn r10084]
The basic strategy is described at the top of the new source file
sshshare.c. In very brief: an 'upstream' PuTTY opens a Unix-domain
socket or Windows named pipe, and listens for connections from other
PuTTYs wanting to run sessions on the same server. The protocol spoken
down that socket/pipe is essentially the bare ssh-connection protocol,
using a trivial binary packet protocol with no encryption, and the
upstream has to do some fiddly transformations that I've been
referring to as 'channel-number NAT' to avoid resource clashes between
the sessions it's managing.
This is quite different from OpenSSH's approach of using the Unix-
domain socket as a means of passing file descriptors around; the main
reason for that is that fd-passing is Unix-specific but this system
has to work on Windows too. However, there are additional advantages,
such as making it easy for each downstream PuTTY to run its own
independent set of port and X11 forwardings (though the method for
making the latter work is quite painful).
Sharing is off by default, but configuration is intended to be very
easy in the normal case - just tick one box in the SSH config panel
and everything else happens automatically.
[originally from svn r10083]
It was only actually used in X11 and port forwarding, to find internal
state structures given only the Socket that ssh.c held. So now that
that lookup has been reworked to be the sensible way round,
private_ptr is no longer used for anything and can be removed.
[originally from svn r10075]
This prevents embarrassing mess-ups involving getting back a Socket
which has mostly been memset to 0 but contains an error message,
sk_close()ing it to free the memory, and finding that standard input
has been closed as a side effect.
[originally from svn r10073]
There are two new functions: one to construct a SockAddr wrapping a
Unix socket pathname (which can also be used as the destination for
new_connection), and one to establish a new listening Unix-domain
socket.
[originally from svn r10072]
The mechanism for constructing a new connection-type Socket when a
listening one receives an incoming connection previously worked by
passing a platform-specific 'OSSocket' type to the plug_accepting
function, which would then call sk_register to wrap it with a proper
Socket instance. This is less flexible than ideal, because it presumes
that only one kind of OS object might ever need to be turned into a
Socket. So I've replaced OSSocket throughout the code base with a pair
of parameters consisting of a function pointer and a context such that
passing the latter to the former returns the appropriate Socket; this
will permit different classes of listening Socket to pass different
function pointers.
In deference to the reality that OSSockets tend to be small integers
or pointer-sized OS handles, I've made the context parameter an
int/pointer union that can hold either of those directly, rather than
the usual approach of making it a plain 'void *' and requiring a
context structure to be dynamically allocated every time.

Automake now insists that we run AM_PROG_AR if we're going to build a

Unix GUI programs should not say 'Fatal Error' in the message box
title, and Plink should not destroy its logging context as a side
effect of printing a non-fatal error. Both appear to have been due to
inattentive cut and paste from the pre-existing fatal error functions.
[originally from svn r10044]
This change attempts to reinstate as a universal property something
which was sporadically true of the ad-hockery that came before
toplevel callbacks: that if there's a _very long_ queue of things to
be done through the callback mechanism, the doing of them will be
interleaved with re-checks of other event sources, which might (e.g.)
cause a flag to be set which makes the next callback decide not to do
anything after all.
[originally from svn r10040]
Again, I've removed the special-purpose ad-hockery from the assorted
front end message loops that dealt with deferred handling of socket
errors, and instead uxnet.c and winnet.c arrange that for themselves
by calling the new general top-level callback mechanism.
[originally from svn r10023]
Instead of having a special GTK idle function for dealing with session
closing, I now use the new top-level callback mechanism which is
slightly simpler for calling a one-off function.
Also in this commit, I've arranged for connection_fatal to queue a
call to the same session close function after displaying the message
box, with the effect that now all the same processing takes place no
matter whether the session closes cleanly or uncleanly - e.g. the SSH
specials submenu is cleaned out, as it should be.
[originally from svn r10022]
I've removed the ad-hoc front-end bodgery in the Windows and GTK ports
to arrange for term_paste to be called at the right moments, and
instead, terminal.c itself deals with knowing when to send the next
chunk of pasted data using a combination of timers and the new
top-level callback mechanism.
As a happy side effect, it's now all in one place so I can actually
understand what it's doing! It turns out that what all that confusing
code was up to is: send a line of pasted data, and delay sending the
next line until either a CR or LF is returned from the server
(typically indicating that the pasted text has been received and
echoed) or 450ms elapse, whichever comes first.

This is a little like schedule_timer, in that the callback you provide
will be run from the top-level message loop of whatever application
you're in; but unlike the timer mechanism, it will happen
_immediately_.
The aim is to provide a general way to avoid re-entrance of code, in
cases where just _doing_ the thing you want done is liable to trigger
a confusing recursive call to the function in which you came to the
decision to do it; instead, you just request a top-level callback at
the message loop's earliest convenience, and do it then.

parallels a similar mechanism in winnet.c and came over by copy and
paste, but is pointless in the Unix networking API.
On Windows, if you're using a mechanism such as WSAAsyncSelect which
delivers readability notifications as messages rather than return
values from a system call, you only get notified that a socket is
readable once - it remembers that it's told you, and doesn't tell you
again until after you've done a read. So in the case where we
intentionally stop reading from a socket because our local buffer is
full, and later want to start reading again, we do a read from the
socket with MSG_PEEK set, and that clears Windows's flag and tells it
to start sending us readability notifications again.
On Unix, select() and friends didn't do anything so strange in the
first place, so the whole mechanism is unnecessary.

immediately after conf_deserialise in the Duplicate Session receiver,
whereas I should have put it after the subsequent loop that extracts
the pty argv if any.

that the user really ought to know but that are not actually fatal to
continued operation of PuTTY or a single network connection.
