Fix accidental change to connshare pipe naming.
Jacob spots that on Windows, current PuTTY is not compatible with 0.74, if one of them acts as a connection sharing upstream and the other as a downstream. That's because commit 1344d4d1 accidentally changed the hash preimage in capi_obfuscate_string() so that it no longer had an SSH-like string length field at the front. So the two versions of PuTTY will expect the named pipe to have a different pathname, and so they won't be able to find each other. Interoperation between PuTTY versions is not the most important use case of connection sharing - surely the typical user will invoke it by activating the same session twice, or by using Duplicate Session. But it was never intended to deliberately _not_ work, so let's fix it before 0.75 goes out, so that at least the incompatible behaviour will only ever have appeared in development snapshots.
