Update newuserdefaults() to use the new sysop-configured Chat and QWK new user settings/values (commit 56b8fd86).

Use newuserdefaults() in newuser.cpp and makeuser.c, eliminating a lot of copy/pasta.

ddfilelister: Now supports being used as a loadable module for Scan Dirs and List Files (applicable for Synchronet 3.20+)

See merge request !260

Added chat-settings to SCFG->System->New User Values->Toggle Options
Added new menu: SCFG->System->New User Values->QWK Packet Settings

Moved SCFG->System->New User Values->Question Toggles to:
      SCFG->System->New User Prompts...

This fixes issue #11

This includes a new JS bbs method: bbs.chat_sec()

And the old command shells written in Baja now call the PCMS
chat_section function, as they used to, rather than hard-coding the
name of the module to execute.

Most sysops didn't know it, but if exec/feedback.* existed, it would be
executed just before any user sent an email to the sysop (user #1),
excluding new user validation requests:
- make this module name configurable and loadable from mods
- support JS module here (exit(1) to abort the feedback)
- invoke for email being sent to *any* sysop (not just user #1)
- don't invoke the module when sending *from* a sysop account

This fixes issue #16

This fixes issue #525

Thanks to Nelgin for providing the test platform.

Apparently the cwd is changed back after ever command is invoked.

You want to replace the built-in batch file transfer menu with your own
loadable module across all command shells? Now you can.

This partially reverts commit 34909899

Apparently I missed this in commit bcce78c6.

Many dynamically-generated (e.g residential) hostnames are much > 30
chars. And we can now increase user.tab fields fairly arbitrarily, so
let's. :-)

Also rename LEN_COMP to LEN_HOST. Some day I'll change all the user_t
comp references to 'host', but not today.

Reversed the order of the pwmod date and the password itself.
The number of chars of the user's password displayed depends on the
terminal width. e.g. on an 80 column terminal, 18 chars will be
displayed. If the user's password is longer than what can be displayed,
this is indicated with a trailing "..". Wider displays (e.g. 132 column)
can display all 40 chars of a user's password.

This fixes issue #442

When passwords aren't displayed (due to sysop configuration), show
"<hidden>" instead of "XXXXXXXX" to make that more clear.

Pass argument of 'true' to clear upload queue, otherwise download queue
is cleared.

We don't yet really work with a 0-byte main.ini file, but this gets
us a little closer.

and prefixes, suffixes.

I'm using this on cvs.synchro.net along with an override.conf file in
/etc/systemd/system/ircd.service.d/

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/sbbs/exec/jsexec -A -L7 -hcvs.synchro.net ircd.js -a cvs.synchro.net
LimitCORE=infinity

My /etc/resolv.conf was wiped by Network Manager (gee, thanks), so
ircd.js was throwing the following unhelpful exceptions when starting
up:
Feb 25 13:47:51 git jsexec[19108]: !JavaScript : uncaught exception: Unable to create any sockets
Feb 25 13:47:51 git jsexec[19108]: !JavaScript : uncaught exception: Unable to create any sockets

First, instead of throwing a string, throw an Error object so we can
actually know where the exception ocurred. Please, everyone, throw Errors
not Strings.

Second, throw a different more helpful exception if there are no nameservers
specified in the DNS constructor or configured on the system.

DDMsgReader: Ctrl-C can now cancel message scans, and message scan status text is word-wrapped for the terminal width

They were too hard for me to read before, being all high intensity.

Remove the (now) unnecessary explicit initializations (e.g. to zero, blank, etc.) from the sbbs_t constructor.

Fixes issue #311

Also clarify "Internet e-mail" address (unrelated)

Apparently Paul made some changes (nobody reports these things).

... and use as reply-to address for any Internet-mailed node number
applications.

This fixes issue #456 reported by Nick Andre.

Configured in SCFG->System->Loadable Modules:
Scan Dirs:      User scans one or more directories for (e.g. new) files
List Files:     User lists files within a file directory
View File Info: User views detailed information on files in a directory

This addresses/fixes feature request #521 for Nightfox

Will need to document the mode argument bit values on the wiki, but
it's the usual suspects: FL_* for scandirs and listfiles and FI_* for
fileinfo. The scandirs_mod will be passed an extra bool (0/1) arg that
indicates whether or not the user is scanning *all* directories.

Test results would be welcome

Parameter names are -- prefixed, with a space between name and
value. Quotes etc. around values are not handled; use escapes.
We can get fancier with this later if it's necessary.

Example:

?wttr.js --fallback_location Toronto --cache_ttl 0
