    Fix translation of legacy registry RSA key format.
    
    A user points out that in commit 6143a50ed228fdf, when I converted all
    use of the registry to functions that return a newly allocated buffer
    instead of allocating a buffer themselves beforehand, I overlooked
    that one use of the old idiom was reusing the preallocated buffer as
    work space.
    
    I _hope_ nobody still needs this code - the 'old-style' host key cache
    format it handles was replaced in 2000. If anyone has a PuTTY host key
    cache entry that's survived 22 years without either having to be
    reinitialised on a new system or changed when the machine's host key
    was upgraded, they're doing better than I am!
    
    But if it's still here, it should still work, obviously. Replaced the
    reused buffer with a strbuf, which is more robust anyway.
