winpgnt: say 'click to focus' in async passphrase prompt.

I continue to believe that there's nothing I can (or should) do about
the fact that on Windows, Pageant's async passphrase prompt dialog box
doesn't automatically get the input focus when it pops up in response
to a request received via invisible IPC.

However, one thing I can do is add some text to the box that _warns_
people about it, so that at least there's some kind of suggestion that
you should get into the habit of clicking on the passphrase prompt
before typing your passphrase into it.

(I would be less concerned about all of this if it weren't for the
fact that focus is surprisingly non-obvious on Windows 10, at least on
the machine I have here. When the window doesn't have focus, the title
bar has the same background colour, and only the text is fainter. And
perhaps more confusingly, the cursor in the edit box still flashes!
That fooled _me_ a few times to begin with.)
