If a new JS context could not be created for any reason, a JS runtime would
still be allocated (and leaked), potentially leading to out of memory
situations which had been seen (before this change) on vert.synchro.net.

Set the control key pass-thru so that some hotkeys (such as Ctrl-P for PageUp) only get caught by the scripts.

The "Events" log messages will now be logged to a disk file in
data/events*.log by default (unless this option is disabled).

If the "First node" is > 1, then the base filename will be
"events<first-node>", otherwise, it's just "events". This is because you
would not want multiple instances of sbbs writing to the same events.log
file - that would be chaos. These log files are subject the log
rotation/retention policy defined in SCFG.

This should resolve the FAQ for Windows sysops about what log file to
which their event log messages are being written.

The functions aren't DLL-exported, so the difference in FILE* support
between an app and a library is not an issue... yet, but it could be
someday, so just for good measure.

Also, don't match against deleted (blank) usernames in name.dat
(e.g. when 'name' value consists of a single ETX character).

Proper use of js.on_exit() in DDMsgReader and SlyEdit

See merge request !206

Used js.on_exit() to set console.ctrlkey_passthru back on exit properly (SlyEdit, DDMsgReader) and bbs.sys_status (SlyEdit)

DDMsgReader v1.54: Users now have a personal twit list (configurable via Ctrl-U, user settings).

When there are no chat action sets or an action set has been deleted, bad
things would happen (e.g. segfault) when listing chat channels.

To be more consistent in syntax and include more details (e.g. the command
being invoked).

Address issue reported by Nightfox via DOVE-Net:
Today I was using the Archive class to extract exactly one file from a zip
file, and I'm a little confused on the exception throwing behavior regarding
the max_files parameter.  When calling extract(), I gave it a filename pattern
and expected exactly 1 file to be extracted, so I also gave a max_files
argument as 1.  It extracted the one file, but it threw an exception with the
error "Error: maximum number of files (1) extracted (after extracting 1 item
successfully)".

Should that be an error condition to throw an exception? I expected 1 file to
be extracted, and that file was extracted successfully.  If I specify max_files
as 2, then it doesn't throw an exception.   

Local sysop can always deleted/edit entries (now).
Fixed checking of can_edit() return value (string or true), fixed issue #425
as reported by Craig Hendricks (thank you)

DDMsgReader: Deleted messages can now be un-marked for deletion from the message list with the U key (if the user has delete permissions). Also, the reader now honors the system setting for whether users can view deleted messages.

As pointed out via DOVE-Net by DesotoFireflite (VALHALLA):
When xtrn_sec.* display file/menu is used, there's no auto-generated
prompt (with a default section number indicated). So hitting Enter
in this case and having the previous/default program section selected
would be surprising behavior to a user. So, only support a default
section selection when there was no xtrn_sec.* menu/display file.

Some unused/padding bytes are written as 0xff, so don't build strings from
those chars.

1. It's a non-printable char
2. It's the Telnet IAC byte value
3. CNF files use this as an "uninitialized value" indicator

Fixes issue #421

DDMsgReader: Mouse click support for the bottom help lines in scrollable mode (thanks to help from Nelgin)

Accomplished by manually removing #define HAVE_BCRYPT_H 1 from config.h and rebuilding using MSVC/Visual Studio IDE. Try as I might I couldn't get the CMakeLists.txt changes (e.g. setting ENABLE_CNG to OFF) to take effect, but this seems to have worked.

Why? Because Windows XP didn't include bcrypt.dll (a Microsoft DLL) and we don't really need it as we don't support password-protected ZIP files anyway. <shrug>

As reported by cadeon on Vertrauen, Synchronet v3.19 hasn't worked on Windows XP due to error:
'The procedure entry point inet_ntop could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll'

SlyEdit.cfg: Changed the saveColorsAsANSI value to false. Synchronet does not word-wrap messages with ANSI.
