Alexander Barton a988bbc86a New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable ZeroConf registration
If ngIRCd is compiled to register its services using ZeroConf (e.g. using
Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X) this parameter can be used to disable service
registration at runtime.

Alexander Barton 5e82a91d13 New configuration option "SyslogFacility"
The new option "SyslogFacility" deines the syslog "facility" to which
ngIRCd should send log messages.

Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
"user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
Default is "local5" for historical reasons.

Florian Westphal 056de78e31 ngircd: change MOTD file handling
previously, the given MotdFile file was read whenever a client
requested it.

Change handling to read the MotdFile contents into memory once
during config file parsing.

Two side effects:
- changes to the MOTD file do not have any effect until ngircds
  configuration is reloaded
- MOTD file does no longer have to reside in the chroot directory
  (the MOTD contents will then not be re-read on reload in that case)

Alexander Barton f369177617 New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM
When the "NoPAM" configuration option is set and ngIRCd is compiled
with support for PAM, ngIRCd will not call any PAM functions: all
connection attemps without password will succeed instead and all
connection attemps with password will fail.

If ngIRCd is compiled without PAM support, this option is a dummy
option and nothing changes: the global server password will still be
in effect.

Alexander Barton 6e8cf51bb2 Implement WEBIRC command
The WEBIRC command is used by some Web-to-IRC gateways to set the correct
user name and host name of users instead of their own.

Syntax: WEBIRC <password> <username> <hostname> <ip-address>

The <password> must be set using the new configuration variable "WebircPassword" in the [Global] section of ngircd.conf.

Please note that the <ip-address> is currently not used by ngIRCd (we don't store it in the CLIENT structure, only the resolved hostname).

Alexander Barton f78b0c61e9 New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper"
Added new configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" to control whether
remote IRC operators are allowed to use administrative commands that
affect this server or not

This commit introduces the configuration variable, but actually no
function is using it. That's up for the next patches to come ...

Alexander Barton c5000694d1 Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels.
This patch introduces the new configuration variable "KeyFile" for
[Channel] sections in ngircd.conf. Here a file can be configured for each
pre-defined channel which contains individual channel keys for different
users. This file is line-based and must have the following syntax:

  <user>:<nick>:<key>

<user> and <nick> can contain the wildcard character "*".

Please not that these channel keys are only in effect, when the channel
has a regular key set using channel mode "k"!

Alexander Barton 9f067a059d Connection counter: count outgoing connections as well.
This patch lets ngIRCd count outgoing connections as well as incoming
connections (up to now only outgoing connections have been counted). This
change is required because the Conn_Close() function doesn't know whether
it closes an outgoing connection or not and therefore would decrement the
counter below zero when an outgoing connection existed -- which would
trigger an assert() call ...

Please note that this patch changes the (so far undocumented but now fixed)
behaviour of the "MaxConnections" configuration option to account the sum
of the in- and outbound connections!

Florian Westphal 4ed2cb1a02 make Listen parameter a comma-seperated list of addresses.
this also obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options.
If Listen is unset, it is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".

Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.

Also, some plattforms require that ai_socktype
is set in the getaddrinfo() hints structure.
