Set smb.last_error strings in new voting/polling functions on failure.

- There was a bug in the first implementation that would cause subsequent
  connections from a non-exempt IP address to be rejected: client_on() is
  called multiple times for a single connection - oops.
- Successfully logged in clients are now *not* counted against the concurrent
  connection limit. This way if a node hangs, the user at that IP can still
  connect/login to another node. The client has to be fully logged-in to be
  excluded from the connection count.

Version 1.17 beta 13: For poll votes, added the voters' date & time (not just the voter's name) to the message body when appending the names of people who voted on polls.  Makes use of the PollVoteNotice (787) line from text.dat.

keys (looks like some copy/pasta from the IPv6 stuff and other cruft).

Also, part of the IPv6 stuff, the sbbs.ini [Mail] "Interface" key was changed
to "SMTPInterface", only nothing ever wrote to this key (including
sbbs_write_ini() defined in this *same* file). Changing this back to just
"Interface" as it was before.

Fixed default values for:

[Mail] DefaultUser (from sysop to none)
[Web] Authentication (from Digest,Basic to Basic,Digest,TLS-PSK)
[Web] Options added HTTP_LOGGING

Some key/values are still not actually the default (a different value is used
if the key or value is absent).

MaxConcurrentConnections (in the [BBS] section)
The default value is 0 (unlmiited).
If set to a non-zero value (e.g. 1), incoming connections will be limited to
this maximum number of simultaneous connections from a single IP address.
Hosts listed in the ctrl/ipfilter_exempt.cfg file are exempt from this
limitation.

Version 1.17 beta 12 - Bug fix for one of the methods: Now correctly returns 0 when there are no readable messages in the sub-board (messages with null headers or ones that are marked as deleted, unvalidated, etc.).  This would affect, among other things, listing messages in the sub-board.

'/V' also works to scan all subs in all groups for polls to view/vote-in.

backfill() method. 2 new attr.cfg fields allow the progress indicator colors to
be configured separately from poll results (though they default to the same
white on magenta). This new progress indicator is used when loading msg ptrs
and scanning for votes. I will be using it while performing other searches
(e.g. file libraries/dirs) as well.

Added new default shell main menu command: 'V' (view/vote-in polls)
'/V' also works to scan all subs in all groups for polls to view/vote-in.
This new scan mode is not exposed to PCMS/Baja, just JS, so using a small
script (scanpolls.js) to invoke this.

Introduced a better progress indicator (similar to poll results), using the
backfill() method. 2 new attr.cfg fields allow the progress indicator colors to
be configured separately from poll results (though they default to the same
white on magenta). This new progress indicator is used when loading msg ptrs

Version 1.17 beta 10: Now the results of a poll vote are refreshed on the screen after the user submits a poll vote.  Also, fixed a bug in setting the user's vote for a poll.

Version 1.17 beta 9: Added initial support for voting on poll messages (in addition to up/downvoting).

Version 1.17 beta 8: Fixed a bug when getting the last-read message index after filtering out deleted messages (or any messages that are not readable due to not being verified, etc.).  Also, for voting, updated it to check whether the user has voted on the message before showing the vote prompt (thanks to echicken for describing how to check that).

accounts. For the longest time, if a Q-restricted (QWKnet node) user had Ctrl-A
codes set to "Leave-in", it would automatically set "No Index",
"No Control Files", "All Email", "Delete Email". But since we can't really
assume that all Q-resricted accounts are Synchronet systems, we're no longer
going to make these assumptions and over-ride what the user has set.

Version 1.17 beta 7: Improved the voting input for the scrolling reader mode so that it doesn't have to refresh the whole screen when the voting process is done.  Also, fixed a bug in error output for voting in the traditional (non-scrolling) reader interface.

Version 1.17 beta 5: Added hotkeys to view vote results for a message (T) and vote on a message (V).  The vote-on-message functionality is still not implemented (when a function for doing that becomes available in Synchronet JavaScript, I will add it).
