[issue901] putty "-p" should be "-P" to specify an alternate SSH port number

[Stephen Vermeulen]

New submission from Stephen Vermeulen <stephen at vermeulen.ca>:

If you include a port number in the SSH URL then Hg will pass that port number
to plink.exe with a "-p", this results in the following error:

C:\temp>hg clone ssh://user@webanno.com:21//user/webanno
remote: plink: unknown option "-p"
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!

according to putty's docs the correct way to do this is with "-P" (capital P).
