Title: Add instructions for using PuTTY instead of OpenSSH

The current instructions for setup on Windows state that "GitHub only provides support for openssh." This makes it sound like GitHub cannot be used with PuTTY, which is like saying "Do not use EMACS, GitHub only provides support for Vim".

This branch contains instead an alternative setup guide for users wishing to use Plink/Pageant (if, for instance, they also use PuTTY as an SSH client, or TortoiseSVN over an SSH tunnel). The current instructions remain the default, and are described as "officially supported".

I've done my best to check that the new content renders correctly, although it wasn't entirely obvious how a fork of this should be set up in order to display.
