This updates the documentation for SSH authentication using Windows and ssh-agent.
Per #10237 and rust-lang/rust#92374, Cargo now supports ssh-agent on Windows.
I'm about 80% sure this information is correct based on my reading of the code and testing. The ssh-agent that is part of mingw (or git-for-windows) uses emulated sockets, which are not compatible with traditional Windows-style named pipes.
