Hopefully more SSH clients can be supported. #6

Hopefully more SSH clients can be supported.

PuTTY pageant is available with many popular SSH clients, such as MobaXterm and Tabby. SK SSH Agent uses the PuTTY pageant interface, but it is not compatible with other clients. Would like to be able to support other clients.

I assume those clients only support Pageant's old WM_COPYDATA-based IPC. Those clients will need to upgrade to use the named-pipe-based IPC. The old IPC is horrible, and I have no desire to implement it.
