64-bit version should bundle 64-bit pageant (and maybe other PuTTY binaries)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Be on a 64-bit Windows with 64-bit TortoiseGit installed.
  2. Run cmd /k dir %windir%\system32\qprocess.exe - note that file is found.
  3. Start "%ProgramFiles%\TortoiseGit\bin\pageant.exe" -c cmd /k dir %windir%\system32\qprocess.exe

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

File should still be found after 2. It is not, because TortoiseGit's pageant.exe is a 32-bit binary start sees a different %windir%\system32. Compare https://serverfault.com/q/208399/

What version of TortoiseGit and Git are you using? On what operating system? 2.11.0 and 2.30.0.windows.1 on Windows 10 20H2 64 bit

PuTTY has 64-bit binaries available that solve this issue: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
