so they can be more easily used by external utils (e.g. umonitor).

buffer overrun concerns.

- if the sysop had text/menu/<filename>.bak (for example), the optoinal menu
  would attempt to load, resulting in an error ("<filename>.asc not found")
- if the sysop specified menu_file or menu_dir (e.g. via Baja), the existing
  checks for optional menu file existance would not work

chat, rather than the old startup options flag ([BBS]->SYSOP_AVAILABLE).
This will be much easier for other processes/programs to query and control.

paged by a user on the terminal server.

If an external progarm is configured (in SCFG->External Progarms) is configured
to "execute on event" set to "Local/Sysop Chat", then that program will be
executed when the remote user is "pulled" into sysop-chat (e.g. via F10 key in
sbbsctrl) rather than running the normal built-in chat.

That is, if any of the following text.dat entries are set to a blank/emtpy
string (by editing ctrl/text.dat or via run-time script modification), the
question will not be asked of the user allowing greater sysop-customization
of hard-coded processes (e.g. new user application):

inserting (long) typedefs to prevent warnings, but in the case of the JS File()
class, actually supporting file lengths > 32-bit.

Added HOST and IP keywords to allow restricted access/privileges to/for
specific remote hostnames or IP addresses (wildcards allowed).
All string-argument type ARS keywords (e.g. SHELL, PROT, etc.) now support .can
style wildcards.
The current remote client is now used for protocol, host, and IP ARS checking,
when available, so this requires passing the client pointer around (which
explains why so many files are touched by this change) and takes care of a
long standing to-do item (the user's 'modem' value was used for the PROT
value checking, which was not always correct).

Remove time32str()

- returns true/false if the user's terminal supports all the passed flags
- returns the supported flags if no flags are passed for comparison
- automatically uses the auto-terminal-type flags if no user is logged-on

Replace all instances of [br]puts("\b \b") with call to backspace()

This fixes once and for all the "spaces entered at password prompt are
echoed as spaces" problem.
