    PuTTYgen: use the term "passphrase hash".
    
    PuTTYgen and its documentation are pretty consistent about calling their
    encryption key a 'passphrase', as opposed to a 'password' supplied
    directly to a server; but the Argon2 parameters UI reverted to
    'password hash', which seemed unecessarily confusing.
    
    I think it's better to use the term 'passphrase' consistently in the UI.
    (People who are used to Argon2 being called a 'password hash' can
    probably deal.)
    
    This required tweaking the coordinates of the Windows PuTTYgen UI.
