Halibut now warns about code paragraph lines which are too long to

In the special case that handles selecting a session and hitting Enter,
there is a structure copy of a Config, which invalidated the remote_cmd_ptr
in that structure (pointing to its own remote_cmd).
This was causing remote commands not to be executed in this special case.
I've patched the pointer up manually (as is done in plink.c), but ugh.

In SSH, we now send terminal speeds to the server when requesting a pty

In the process, I've removed the individual controls on the Telnet and
Rlogin panels and replaced them with one on the Connection panel (since they
were backed by the same storage anyway).
The terminal speeds sent in SSH are logged in the Event Log.

Now that Halibut is capable of generating man pages better than I
can do it by hand, I've converted the man page set from Unix PuTTY

man pages as an appendix in the main manual (once I _have_ a main

Jacob reports a segfault when using HTTP proxying under Minefield.
It appears that this is because Visual C's sscanf works by first
calling strlen to get the length of the string, so that its internal
read-character routine can be sure of never overrunning the buffer.
Quite why the internal read-char routine can't detect \0 _itself_
rather than having to have it found for it in advance I have no
idea. Sigh.

Added a wrinkle to the version.c build in the Unix makefile, which
will validate an md5sums manifest and if all md5sums match will use
a version number provided in a file. This should allow me to produce
a Unix release source archive with the property that when unpacked
and built it will produce binaries advertising themselves as
`Release X.YZ', but as soon as the user starts fiddling with the
sources it will revert to `Unidentified build' (though of course the
user can still _explicitly_ ask for a release tag, and in fact this
will override the default if any default is specified).

Charles Wilcox reported a signature validation bug with 2500-bit RSA
keys. This _appears_ to be due to me computing the byte count of the
key by dividing the bit count by 8 and rounding _down_ rather than
up. Therefore, I can't see how this code could ever have worked on
any SSH2 RSA key whose length was not a multiple of 8 bits; and
therefore I'm staggered that we haven't noticed it before! OpenSSH's
keygen appears to be scrupulous about ensuring the returned key
length is exactly what you asked for rather than one bit less, but
even so I'm astonished that _all_ keygen implementations for servers
we've ever interoperated with have avoided tripping this bug...
