advantages:
- protocol modules can call sk_write() without having to worry
about writes blocking, because blocking writes are handled in the
abstraction layer and retried later.
- `Lost connection while sending' is a thing of the past.
- <winsock.h> is no longer needed in most modules, because
"putty.h" doesn't have to declare `SOCKET' variables any more,
only the abstracted `Socket' type.
- select()-equivalent between multiple sockets will now be handled
sensibly, which opens the way for things like SSH port
forwarding.

- Robert de Bath's Compose key is now off by default and configurable on
- The ages-old controversy over whether ALT by itself should bring the
System menu up is now controllable by a config option
- You can now independently configure whether scrollback resets on a
keypress _and_ whether it resets on screen activity.

session list even if it isn't in the Registry. This got deleted
overenthusiastically because I didn't have a comment explaining what
it was doing there. Now there's a comment, so I probably won't
remove it again.

- cope with strange WinSock wrappers not supporting SIOCATMARK
- define yet more terminal compatibility modes
- support UK-ASCII (just like US-ASCII but # is a sterling sign)
- support connection keepalives at a configurable interval

windlg.c into it. Allows plink and pscp to no longer link with
windlg.c, meaning they lose some of the sillier stub functions and
also can provide a console-based form of verify_ssh_host_key().
