Log Message:
Support optional ctrl/<terminal-protocol>/text.ini file

If the sysop wants custom text.dat strings to be unique per terminal
connection protocol (e.g. telnet, rlogin, ssh, raw), this is how that
can be achieved (e.g. ctrl/rlogin/text.ini can be used to override text.dat strings only for RLogin connections).

To at least partially address issue #897

Modified Files:
src/sbbs3/str.cpp
Log Message:
Rework part of the "good password" checking algorithm

Require that a good password contain a sequence of unique characters
(not repeating, incrementing, or decrementing in ASCII code value) of at least half the configured minimum password length. By default, the minimum password length is 4 chars, so this means a sequence of at least 2 unique characters
is required. If the minimum password length is increased by the sysop, so is the minimum required unique sequence length. The "PasswordInvalid" text.dat string is printed when passwords are rejected by this criteria.

Previously, the following would be rejected by this portion of the algo,
this logic has been replaced by the above:
- all chars the same (would print the "PasswordInvalid" text.dat string)
- first 4 chars are incrementing ("PasswordObvious" string printed)
- first 4 chars are decrementing ("PasswordObvious" string printed)

but now, a password that starts with "1234" or "abcd" is fine so long as it's longer than that and contains the minimum unique sequence length. This will prevent SBBS from rejecting high quality (e.g. randomly generated or crypto-hashed) passwords that just happen to begin with an incrementing sequence of 4 digits or alpha-characters.

Clean up the sbbs_t::console (JS console.status) bit flags

Mainly this is renaming CON_R_ECHOX to CON_PASSWORD, but also eliminating several long-unused flags.

Modified Files:
src/sbbs3/str.cpp
Log Message:
Overhaul the gettmplt() (in JS, console.gettemplate) function

Oh this was (and in some ways is still) oh so broken and has been forever.

If backspace, DEL, or Ctrl-X was used, the returned string was often not what was being displayed on the terminal when the user hit ENTER. <sigh>

- Ctrl-X, Backspace and DEL actually clear out the entered text now
Backspace/DEL don't remove the non-template (e.g. symbol) chars though
- The left and right arrows keys can now be used to traverse the edited text
- TAB is now treated the same as CR (much like getstr())
- When editing a string, the cursor starts at the first character instead of
the last as this seems much more convenient. Perhaps getstr() should get the
treatment, but I hesitate because getstr() is used by so many.
