In order to list cross-certifiable host keys in the GUI specials menu, the SSH backend has been inventing new values on the end of the Telnet_Special enumeration, starting from the value TS_LOCALSTART. This is inelegant, and also makes it awkward to break up special handlers (e.g. to dispatch different specials to different SSH layers), since if all you know about a special is that it's somewhere in the TS_LOCALSTART+n space, you can't tell what _general kind_ of thing it is. Also, if I ever need another open-ended set of specials in future, I'll have to remember which TS_LOCALSTART+n codes are in which set. So here's a revamp that causes every special to take an extra integer argument. For all previously numbered specials, this argument is passed as zero and ignored, but there's a new main special code for SSH host key cross-certification, in which the integer argument is an index into the backend's list of available keys. TS_LOCALSTART is now a thing of the past: if I need any other open-ended sets of specials in future, I can add a new top-level code with a nicely separated space of arguments. While I'm at it, I've removed the legacy misnomer 'Telnet_Special' from the code completely; the enum is now SessionSpecialCode, the struct containing full details of a menu entry is SessionSpecial, and the enum values now start SS_ rather than TS_.
