Another wart in the command-line processing: if the user just specifies
`-load sessname', and that mentions a hostname, that should be sufficient
to start a connection.

Attempt to make Windows pointer hiding more robust by ignoring MOUSEMOVE and

to send such messages occasionally when other stuff is going on (e.g., in
other windows).

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.

Add a configuration option for TCP keepalives (SO_KEEPALIVE), default off.
No very good reason, but I've occasionally wanted to frob it to see if it
makes any difference to problems I'm having, and it was easy.
Tested that it does actually cause keepalives on Windows (with tcpdump);
should also work on Unix. Not implemented on Mac (does nothing), but then
neither is TCP_NODELAY.
Quite a big checkin, much of which is adding `keepalive' alongside `nodelay'
in network function calls.

Spotted by Dimitry Andric: `ssh-termspeed' implementation was not taking
account of coroutines and used local variables over a crFoo. I believe the
impact was cosmetic, affecting the speeds reported in the Event Log only.
I've put the variables `ispeed' and `ospeed' in the main ssh_tag structure,
even though they're only live for a short duration; I did this rather than
create a new state struct for ssh1_protocol() (since ssh_tag already has
short-duration junk like portfwd_strptr).

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

This was causing remote commands not to be executed in this special case.
