Fix an annoying inconsistency that's been bugging me for years: "plink host"

Someone complained that their keyboard-interactive password prompt was being
truncated - it was from OpenSSH on HP/UX and had all sorts of stuff in it
("last successful login" etc).
Bodged it by bumping up the space allocated in the fixed array for a password
prompt. Also added an indication that the prompt is being truncated, as
required by draft-ietf-secsh-auth-kbdinteract-06.
(NB that before this checkin, there was a more-or-less harmless buffer overread
where if we ever received a keyboard-interactive prompt with echo=1, we'd
probably spew goo on the terminal; fixed now.)

Apparently sending the tar output to stdout rather than a file causes tar to
pad with trailing NULs, which slightly upsets old versions of gzip (1.2.4,
not 1.3.x), which upsets some of our correspondents.
Use -f to send it to a file instead. (It's not transparently clear what
happens when you mix -f and -C; I've tested this with ixion's tar, 1.13.25.)
Also add option -o to generate POSIX tar files, as for halibut/Makefile;
apparently this shuts up a `trailing garbage' error from WinZip.

PSFTP was ignoring `-1' and `-2' and always using SSH-2 with fallback to
SSH-1. It also ignored any settings forbidding fallback to SSH-1.
Ignoring `-1' and `-2' is hardly the end of the world, as it'd be difficult
to think of a realistic situation where fallback didn't do the right thing
and PSFTP was still useful. However, ignoring a user's `SSH-2 only' setting
was a bit rude.

Fix for `psftp-pscp-ignore-load': Default Settings is now loaded
before "-load" is processed so that it doesn't clobber it.
I've also changed the semantics of "-load" slightly for PSCP, PSFTP,
and Plink: if it's specified at all, it overrides (disables) the
implicit loading of session details based on a supplied hostname
elsewhere (on the grounds that the user is more likely to want the
"-load" session than the implicit session). (PuTTY itself doesn't do
implicit loading at all, so I haven't changed it.)
This means that all the PuTTY tools' behaviour is now consistent iff
"-load" is specified (otherwise, some tools have implicit-session, and
others don't).
However, I've not documented this behaviour, as there's a good chance
it will be swept away if and when we get round to sorting out how we
deal with settings from multiple sources. It's intended as a "do
something sensible" change.
