Often you may only want the plain-text portion of a message (e.g. for
printing).

If there's no 'id' property, don't display "Message-ID: undefined".
If the new default_content_type argument is false, don't display
a default content-type and content-transfer-encoding.

New modopts.ini [chat_sec] options:
- imsg_requirements (default: blank)
- irc_requirements (default: blank)
- finger_requirements (default: blank)

For DesotoFireflite (VALHALLA)

Set the following in the modopts.ini [avatars] section:
msghdr_draw_top (default is true)
msghdr_draw_above (default is true)
msghdr_draw_right (default is true)

Set any of these to false to override the default behavior -
for DesotoFireflite (VALHALLA).

This commit also includes a couple of changes I've been apparently
sitting on:
- display avatars even for non-ANSI/non-CP437 terminal users
- cache the smbdefs.js in bbs.mods.smbdefs (I don't recall why)

Enable the option to ask for continuation/enter door when displaying info/intro ans/msg file. This could be useful when displaying info about a door, showing rules, etc.

As reported by plt from the I, the R, and the C.

Also, abort menu upon Ctrl-C.

Then, add JSDOC support to crypto class constant objects.

Also, since crypto stuff is almost half of all the docs, move all
the crypto classes and objects to the end. It would be nice if these
massive lists were hidden by default line the menu tree at the start.

By simply installing a supported 3rd party door game into your
"xtrn" directory, install-xtrn.js or xtrn-setup.js can automatically
discover and configure your newly installed door for Synchronet. Easy peasy.

Resolves issue #181 (great idea) by Michael Long. Deuce and others have had
similar ideas in the past.

Now, we don't have to rely on the authors of potentially-abandoned door games
to create and include a Synchronet install-xtrn.ini file. We can just do that
for ourselves and make installing all (known) door games super easy.

Many more xtrn/3rdp-install/*.ini files will be forthcoming!

allows more flexibility in formatting xtrn program menus by allowing one to remove the titles or underline headings by setting them to 'none' in the ini file

Use the new "blanks" option with File.iniGetAllObjects().
This means that keys specified in the modopts.ini with no value
will now be represented as blank strings ("") instead of undefined values,
in JS modules.

change the program var in xtrn.js to prog to be compatible with any existing uses of eval_before_exec

By default, displays users of the BBS born in the current month.

Remove birthdate.js - not needed or used anywhere (anymore).

Don't load() things unnecessarily (use require() instead).
Fix the X-restriction issue (is not supposed to limit the execution of
programs configured to run as logon events).

Throw exceptions rather than just loggin an "Unable to open" error
(easier tracking fo the soruce of the error). Log the description and
errno value associated with the file open failure.

Create the .ini files if they don't already exist (rather than crashing
out with an error).

Replace the deprecated 'e' file open mode flag with 'x'.

This should help to root-cause any future msgbase open failures like those
that I suspect were a result of Issue #4.

This should address the issue raised by Michael J. Ryan in issue #4.
The command in question ("GROUP") would attempt to open the message
base associated with the specified newsgroup name without closing
the currently open/selected message base (if there was one). This would
result in multiple simultaneously open message bases and could result
in an exhaustion of open file descriptors leading to a failure to open
any additional files (includign message bases) and thus a subsequent
"GROUP" command would fail with the wrong "!no such group" error.

This introduces pre/post execution modules for bbs.exec_xtrn. The logic previously in xtrn_sec.js for those functions is now in prextrn.js and postxtrn.js. These handle screen clear, evals, fonts, etc. Now everywhere that launches an external program will support these features

as part of the 8->40 password length enhancement.

Everything after U_OLDPASS was NaN because of a typo (U_PASS not yet defined).

Synchronet Utilities...a master script to make it easier for new sysops to understand and use the myriad command line scripts that are available

Don't regenerate the newsgroup_list for *every* authenticated NNTP command.

These options are to attempt to address the issue (#178) reported by Michael J. Ryan
with regards to a Thunderbird error:
"Sending of the messages failed. You can only send to one news server at a time."
when attempting to reply to a message that was posted to multiple newsgroups,
but the server has not actually advertised that it serves that newsgroups (because
it doesn't or the names a different than one the server uses for the same area).

-force will force the export "Newsgroups" header field to contain only the name
of the locally selectec newsgroup.
-filter will remove any Newsgroup names from the exported "Newsgroups" header
if they don't exist on the local server.

Some padding bytes are expected to be 0xff's (not 0x00's) when
unused by configuration properties.

Also, this insures that this library is compatible with future .cnf files
(i.e. it won't over-write new configuration properties with 0's).

- min_pwlen
- textsec_mod
- automsg_mod
- xtrnsec_mod
- nodelist_mod
- whosonline_mod
- privatemsg_mod
- logonlist_mod

Since cnflib.js doesn't save/restore padding areas (yet), this explains
why using scripts that use cnflib to update/modify configuration files
could result in some settings being reverted to default or blank values
unexpectedly.

Next-up: fix cnflib so it saves and restores padding areas in .cnf files.

Originally, the "pause on exit" was implemented in the C++ version of
sbbs_t::xtrn_sec() and not sbbs_t::exec_xtrn(). This meant that the pause
option was only implemented when the prgoram was invoked from the menu and
not when invoked directly (e.g. via Baja or JS exec_xtrn function).

When sbbs_t::xtrn_sec() was ported to JS, that functionality was also moved
to JS. But it really should have been implemented in exec_xtrn() to begin
with so that regardless of how the program is invoked, that SCFG setting takes
effect.

Thanks to Michael Long for pointing this out.

Using the xtrn program section internal code protects against renumbering upon
configuration changes (inserting/removing program sections).
At Nelgin's suggestion/request.

Error objects are much easier to trace back to the offending line of code.
This was a pretty automated search/replace, so in some cases, it's a
commented-out instance that was changed. I did not convert *all* the load/*.js
files.
