Windows: add keyboard accelerators in the host key prompt.
These went away when we moved from a standard MessageBox to a custom
dialog, impairing accessibility. Now put some back by hand.

Make HelpCtx a per-platform type, not an intorptr.
Partly, this just seems more sensible, since it may well vary per
platform beyond the ability of intorptr to specify. But more
immediately it means the definition of the HELPCTX macro doesn't have
to use the P() function from dialog.h, which isn't defined in any
circumstances outside the config subsystem. And I'm about to want to
put a help context well outside that subsystem.

Utility function to do terminal word wrapping.
I'm planning to use this to replace some of the manually wrapped lines
in console messages.

Move host key dialogs over to using ShinyDialogBox.
They were previously using an ad-hoc system for getting hold of their
context structure, which had to be different between the WM_INITDIALOG
handler and everything else. That's exactly what ShinyDialogBox is
good for preventing, so let's use it, to save effort.

Centralise most details of host-key prompting.
The text of the host key warnings was replicated in three places: the
Windows rc file, the GTK dialog setup function, and the console.c
shared between both platforms' CLI tools. Now it lives in just one
place, namely ssh/common.c where the rest of the centralised host-key
checking is done, so it'll be easier to adjust the wording in future.
This comes with some extra automation. Paragraph wrapping is no longer
done by hand in any version of these prompts. (Previously we let GTK
do the wrapping on GTK, but on Windows the resource file contained a
bunch of pre-wrapped LTEXT lines, and console.c had pre-wrapped
terminal messages.) And the dialog heights in Windows are determined
automatically based on the amount of stuff in the window.
The main idea of all this is that it'll be easier to set up more
elaborate kinds of host key prompt that deal with certificates (if,
e.g., a server sends us a certified host key which we don't trust the
CA for). But there are side benefits of this refactoring too: each
tool now reliably inserts its own appname in the prompts, and also, on
Windows the entire prompt text is copy-pastable.
Details of implementation: there's a new type SeatDialogText which
holds a set of (type, string) pairs describing the contents of a
prompt. Type codes distinguish ordinary text paragraphs, paragraphs to
be displayed prominently (like key fingerprints), the extra-bold scary
title at the top of the 'host key changed' version of the dialog, and
the various information that lives in the subsidiary 'more info' box.
ssh/common.c constructs this, and passes it to the Seat to present the
actual prompt.
In order to deal with the different UI for answering the prompt, I've
added an extra Seat method 'prompt_descriptions' which returns some
snippets of text to interpolate into the messages. ssh/common.c calls
that while it's still constructing the text, and incorporates the
resulting snippets into the SeatDialogText.
For the moment, this refactoring only affects the host key prompts.
The warnings about outmoded crypto are still done the old-fashioned
way; they probably ought to be similarly refactored to use this new
SeatDialogText system, but it's not immediately critical for the
purpose I have right now.
