Should be no significant change in behaviour.
(Well, entering usernames containing commas on Plink's command line will be
a little harder now.)

in place of making a network connection. This has involved a couple
of minor infrastructure changes:
- New dlg_label_change() function in the dialog.h interface, which
alters the label on a control. Only used, at present, to switch
the Host Name and Port boxes into Serial Line and Speed, which
means that any platform not implementing serial connections (i.e.
currently all but Windows) does not need to actually do anything
in this function. Yet.
- New small piece of infrastructure: cfg_launchable() determines
whether a Config structure describes a session ready to be
launched. This was previously determined by seeing if it had a
non-empty host name, but it has to check the serial line as well
so there's a centralised function for it. I haven't gone through
all front ends and arranged for this function to be used
everywhere it needs to be; so far I've only checked Windows.
- Similarly, cfg_dest() returns the destination of a connection
(host name or serial line) in a text format suitable for putting
into messages such as `Unable to connect to %s'.
