This is the pathfinding change that proves it's possible for _one_ Conf setting to become Unicode-capable. That seems like quite a small reward for all the refactoring in the previous patches this week! But changing over one configuration setting is enough to get started with: once all the bugs are out of this one, we can try switching over some more. Changing the type to CONF_TYPE_STR_AMBI is enough by itself to make the configuration dialog box write it into Conf as UTF-8, because conf_editbox_handler automatically checks whether that possibility is available. However, setting the same Conf entry from the command line isn't automatic: I had to add code in the handler for the -l command-line option in cmdline.c. This commit also doesn't yet handle the _other_ way to specify a username on the command line: including it as part of the hostname argument via "putty user@host" or similar. That's more difficult, because it also requires deciding what to do about UTF-8 in the actual hostname. (That looks as if it ought to be possible: Windows should be able to handle looking up Unicode hostnames if you use GetAddrInfoW() in place of getaddrinfo(). But plumbing it through everything in between cmdline.c and windows/network.c is a bigger job than I'm prepared to do in this proof-of-concept commit.)
