error messages are currently wrong, and Pageant doesn't yet support
the new key type, and I haven't thoroughly tested that falling back
to password authentication and trying invalid keys etc all work. But
what I have here has successfully performed a public key
authentication, so it's working to at least some extent.

introduce another layer of abstraction in SSH2 ciphers, such that a
single `logical cipher' (as desired by a user) can equate to more
than one `physical cipher'. This is because AES comes in several key
lengths (PuTTY will pick the highest supported by the remote end)
and several different SSH2-protocol-level names (aes*-cbc,
rijndael*-cbc, and an unofficial one rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se).
