    Pageant docs: improve the new OpenSSH section.
    
    I tried setting this up on a different Windows machine today and had
    some slightly different experiences. I found that in at least some
    situations the command 'Include c:\...\pageant.conf' will cause
    OpenSSH to emit a log message saying it's trying to open the file
    '~/.ssh/c:\...\pageant.conf', which it then doesn't find. But 'Include
    pageant.conf' works, because that's interpreted relative to the .ssh
    directory that it's already found.
    
    (I don't know why this happened on one Windows machine and not
    another, since I only have a sample size of two. But an obvious guess
    would be a bug fix in the Windows OpenSSH port, present in the version
    on one of the machines I tried, and not in the other. Certainly that
    failure mode looks to me like 'apply Unix instead of Windows rules to
    decide what's an absolute pathname'.)
    
    Also, clarified that all of this only works with the version of
    OpenSSH that's available as a Windows optional feature, and not with
    the MSYS-based one that ships with Windows git.
