This fills in the remaining gap in the interactive prompt rework of
the proxy system in general. If you used the Telnet proxy with a
command containing %user or %pass, and hadn't filled in those
variables in the PuTTY config, then proxy/telnet.c would prompt you at
run time to enter the proxy auth details. But the local proxy command,
which uses the same format_telnet_command function, would not do that.
Now it does!
I've implemented this by moving the formatting of the proxy command
into a new module proxy/local.c, shared between both the Unix and
Windows local-proxy implementations. That module implements a
DeferredSocketOpener, which constructs the proxy command (prompting
first if necessary), and once it's constructed, hands it to a
per-platform function platform_setup_local_proxy().
So each platform-specific proxy function, instead of starting a
subprocess there and then and passing its details to make_fd_socket or
make_handle_socket, now returns a _deferred_ version of one of those
sockets, with the DeferredSocketOpener being the thing in
proxy/local.c. When that calls back to platform_setup_local_proxy(),
we actually start the subprocess and pass the resulting fds/handles to
the deferred socket to un-defer it.
A side effect of the rewrite is that when proxy commands are logged in
the Event Log, they now get the same amenities as in the Telnet proxy
type: the proxy password is sanitised out, and any difficult
characters are escaped.
