ngIRCd relaxes its flood protection for users having the user mode "F" set
and allows them to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example, see
<http://docs.dal.net/docs/modes.html#4.9>.
When a user has set mode "b", all private messages and notices to this
user are blocked if they don't originate from a registered user, an IRC Op,
server or service. The originator gets an error numeric sent back in this
case, ERR_CANNOTSENDTONICK_MSG(976), which is/was(?) used by KineIRCd, too.
This closes bug #144.
If the new channel mode "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid
and all clients get the new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG(518) reply.
Unreal and InspIRCd uses this mode, too.
This closes bug #143.
Both modes protect users from channel kicks: only IRC operators and
servers can kick users having mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q".

This closes bug #141.

This patch series allows ngIRCd to support the user mode "B" ("Bot flasg"):
it is settable and unsettable by every (non-restricted) client.
According to DNS777, this is how Unreal and InspIRCd do behave, so do we :-)

* umode-B:
Add new user mode "B" to doc/Modes.txt
Implement an Unreal-like user mode "B" ("Bot mode")
If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE command has the user mode 'C'
set, it is required that both sender and receiver are on the same channel.
This prevents private flooding by completely unknown clients.
