  1. communicator: add note to docs on protocol/Windows

    Recently, an update to Windows's default SSH implementation added an
    extra check for the mark-of-the-web to their code, which if in verbose
    mode, ends-up producing an error log, and terminates the process with a
    non-zero error code, even if the transfer is successful.
    
    Because of this, scp transfers fail all the time in such an environment,
    and the recommended workaround for now is to set sftp as the transfer
    protocol, as this one sets the mark-of-the-web successfully, and
    therefore ends with a 0 error code.
    
    Since this is surprising behaviour to users, we add a paragraph to the
    docs, so they know about this workaround.
