ability to do synchronous ones as well, because PSCP and PSFTP don't
really need async ones and it would have been a serious pain to
implement them. Also, Pageant itself when run as a client of its
primary instance doesn't benefit noticeably from async agent
requests.

callback function; it may return 0 to indicate that it doesn't have
an answer _yet_, in which case it will call the callback later on
when it does, or it may return 1 to indicate that it's got an answer
right now. The Windows agent_query() implementation is functionally
unchanged and still synchronous, but the Unix one is async (since
that one was really easy to do via uxsel). ssh.c copes cheerfully
with either return value, so other ports are at liberty to be sync
or async as they choose.

malloc functions, which automatically cast to the same type they're
allocating the size of. Should prevent any future errors involving
mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make
life easier if we ever need to turn the PuTTY core code from real C
into C++-friendly C. I haven't touched the Mac frontend in this
checkin because I couldn't compile or test it.

smalloc() macros and thence to the safemalloc() functions in misc.c.
This should allow me to plug in a debugging allocator and track
memory leaks and segfaults and things.
