Document it and set it by default.

This should be redundant since "zip" and "unzip" should already be in the
native program list, but at some point we should be able to get rid of the
native program list or at least have it default to blank.

The ircd keeps services from auto-recycling upon request while there's an
outbound connection (e.g. to vert).

Fix issue #868 - pretty this string for 40 col terminals

trimmed some trailing whitespace

As Nelgin pointed out, there are a few hard-coded strings in the C++ source
with attribute (Ctrl-A) codes still.

This commit takes care of 5 of them:
- TelnetGatewayPrompt
- QWKEndOfMessage
- QWKTagLineFmt
- QWKControlCommand
- QWKBadControlCommand

SlyEdit: The readme should only be in docs (not ctrl). Also, updated the version history of the correct one so that it's complete.

SlyEdit: User activity timeout improvement (via use of console.getkey() instead of the custom function that was being used)

Just adds new keys/default values

This is how the max files/age of files in directories is enforced.

Displayed instead of hard-coded string in xtrn.cpp when attempting to run
16-bit DOS program on system with no DOS/DOSemu support.

Add/use new print mode flag: P_ATCODES for use with trusted format params

Renamed text.dat strings (to better support translation/localization):
- Deleted -> DeletedUser
- Inactive -> InactiveUser

New text.dat strings:
- Deleting
- DoneDeleting
- Deleted
- DeletedNumberItems
- E_Mail
- E_Mails

Change internal code of "xtrn-setup" from XSETUP to XTRN-SETUP (we have plenty
of chars available for internal codes now).

datestr() will return this string when passed a time_t value of 0.

from text.dat.

Also change the alignment of the Fi* (File Information) text.dat strings to
allow more space for the data fields, allowing better support for adding URLs
(for sysops that want to do so, e.g. by setting FiFilename in text.ini).

This reverts commit 269875be.

There are plenty of existing text.dat strings where URL @-codes can be added.
I had good/better results by changing the FiFilename string.
So let's not add a new/blank text.dat string for now good reason.

This is an optional (default: blank) string that can be used to display a
file's URL(s) (e.g. FTP and/or Web URLs, using @-codes) when viewing extended
file information. I currently have this string output before the file
description.

The idea is that a sysop could set this string (e.g in their ctrl/text.ini)
instead of or in-addition-to their text/menu/download.msg file and then the
file URL(s) would be more readily displayed (not just went prompting for a
download protocol to send said file).

This especially important/noticeable on a 4K monitor.

Increase the minmimum free disk space to 1G by default (most modern computer
sysops will probably want to increase this even more).

Also, change the shell order a little

Most of these shells (their menu/display files really) require a terminal at
least 80 columns wide to look/work right.

Each app can have its own config file as well (e.g. ctrl/scfg.ini)

Cleans-up (deletes) expired filters in text/ip.can and ctrl/spamblock.cfg

Adds new keys, removes old ones

Updates formatting/white-space

changed from 0 to 1:
 timeperday
 timepercall
 callsperday
 postsperday
 emailperday

There are restrictions to remove access to these features if that's what the
sysop desires.

This will allow unauthenticated mail clients to post a single message (per day)
to a sub-board, when there's a posting alias set up (sub:* in alias.cfg).

As Deon pointed out in DOVE-Net / Synchronet Discussion, having a local time
zone configured with a different UTC offset than your system time zone can
produce strange/unexpected results (e.g. displayed age of messages). Since
it's possible that not all sysops will complete the configuration wizard or
actually set their timezone to the correct value (and ignore the startup
warning message), we now make the default Local Time Zone to be
"automatic" - query the OS every time the local time zone is needed/used.

This has the downside of only storing (e.g. in message headers) the UTC
offset of the current time zone (not the time zone abbreviation/name as
encoded by SMB). I considered making an option to dynamically figure out
the actual time zone (not just the UTC offset) and while I think that's
doable, Deon just wanted his UTC offset (e.g. UTC+11:00) and not his
time zone name (e.g. AEDT) stored in message headers, so this setting
would be the behavior he expected/wanted.

I'm using the sentinel time zone value of -1 for this new behavior.

Existing configurations (behavior of existing systems) aren't changed.
