    Unix Pageant: options to select askpass type.
    
    Mostly for debugging purposes, because I'm tired of having to use
    'setsid' to force Pageant to select the GUI passphrase prompt when I'm
    trying to fix bugs in gtkask.c. But I can also imagine situations in
    which the ability to force a GUI prompt window might be useful to end
    users, for example if the process does _technically_ have a
    controlling terminal but it's not a user-visible one (say, in the back
    end of some automation tool like expect(1)).
    
    For symmetry, I also provide an option to force the tty prompt. That's
    less obviously useful, because that's already the preferred prompt
    type when both methods are available - so the only use for it would be
    if you wanted to ensure that Pageant didn't _accidentally_ try to
    launch a GUI prompt, and aborted with an error if it couldn't use a
    tty prompt.

    Unix Pageant: option to behave like ssh-askpass.
    
    Since Pageant contains its own passphrase prompt system rather than
    delegating it to another process, it's not trivial to use it in other
    contexts. But having gone to the effort of coming up with my own
    askpass system that (I think) does a better job at not revealing the
    length of the password, I _want_ to use it in other contexts where a
    GUI passphrase or password prompt is needed. Solution: an --askpass
    option.
