Don't truncate a user's record if the default download protocol or gender are '\0'
A blank download protocol field in a user.dat, when parsed, sets the 'prot' field of user_t to 0. When writing the record back to the user.dat, this would prematurely truncate all other fields off the user record (since strings in C are NUL terminated and we're using sprintf() to format the record and %c specifier for that field). The fix is to write a ' ' character instead of '\0' if the user_t.prot is '\0'. As part of this fix, I'm writing a '?' if a user_t.sex is '\0' (not sure if this is actually possible, but just as insurance). Those are the only 2 single-character user properties/fields today. Bug reported/debugged by Al of The Rusty Mailbox (1:153/757.2) - thank you!
