reduces the need for npiperelay to get wsl2 to work.

A previous version did have something like this, but was changed as having the SSH agent be accessible via TCP seemed undesirable - it would be easy to accidentally make it available over the network...

I think a better solution here would be to add an stdio option - and then socat on the WSL side could communicate directly with wsl-ssh-pageant rather than npiperelay, if you wanted to go that route.
