SSH Agent: Add support for OpenSSH for Windows #1994

Add support for the new stock OpenSSH ssh-agent in Windows 10.

Description

A new checkbox "Use OpenSSH for Windows instead of Pageant" was added to SSH Agent settings page and is shown only for Windows builds. It is not checked by default.

The Windows-only ACL hardening caused trouble and a change was needed to allow the agent to do enough poking of the calling process to allow a key in. It doesn't seem to expose KeePassXC to any external harm but I'm no expert on the topic.

Motivation and context

Issue #1984.

How has this been tested?

Manual test runs on Windows. It's basically the exact same ssh-agent as on other platforms so it should be fine.

@hifi can you please post a test sequence for this? What do I need to install (and how) in order to test this functionality?
