Revamp SSH authentication code so that user interaction is more abstracted out; replace loops structured around a single interaction per loop with less tortuous code (fixes: `ki-multiprompt-crash', `ssh1-bad-passphrase-crash'; makes `ssh2-password-expiry' and `proxy-password-prompt' easier). The new interaction abstraction has a lot of fields that are unused in the current code (things like window captions); this is groundwork for `gui-auth'. However, ssh.c still writes directly to stderr; that may want to be fixed. In the GUI apps, user interaction is moved to terminal.c. This should make it easier to fix things like UTF-8 username entry, although I haven't attempted to do so. Also, control character filtering can be tailored to be appropriate for individual front-ends; so far I don't promise anything other than not having made it any worse. I've tried to test this fairly exhaustively (although Mac stuff is untested, as usual). It all seems to basically work, but I bet there are new bugs. (One I know about is that you can no longer make the PuTTY window go away with a ^D at the password prompt; this should be fixed.) check-in: fa1347493a user: jacob tags: trunk
