Charybdis currently leaks about 45-50k per configuration parse,
including every rehash. This change plugs these leaks by properly
iterating through all conf_parm_t structures to seek all strings that
should be freed and also by freeing the conf_parm_t structures
themselves.
These leaks have been present since the original rewrite of the
configuration parsing system in ircd-ratbox r11953.
Additionally, this change also cleans up and documents the parsing code
a bit.
This becomes important because of away-notify sending aways to common
channels much like nick changes (which are also paced).
Marking as unaway is not limited (but obviously only does something if the
user was away before). To allow users to fix typos in away messages, two
aways are allowed in sequence if away has not been used recently.
This adds a new ISUPPORT token, NICKLEN_USABLE which is strictly an informative value.
NICKLEN is always the maximum runtime NICKLEN supported by the IRCd, as other servers may
have their own usable NICKLEN settings. As NICKLEN_USABLE is strictly informative, and
NICKLEN is always the maximum possible NICKLEN, any clients which depend on NICKLEN for
memory preallocation will be unaffected by runtime changes to NICKLEN_USABLE.
The default NICKLEN is 50; the default serverinfo::nicklen in the config file is set to
30, which is the NICKLEN presently used on StaticBox.
nenolod gave the thumbs-up to port ircd-seven banfowards to charybdis to spb
for a while, and people have asked about it. Might as well do it since it's a
slow weekend.
Note that as a side effect use_forward is removed from the config and
unconditionally enabled!
yy_oper->certfp was not copied into yy_tmpoper->certfp, thus the information was lost and certfp auth was never really working, since the string was always empty.
This has a separate enabling option channel::channel_target_change.
It applies to PRIVMSG, NOTICE and TOPIC by unvoiced unopped non-opers.
The same slots are used for channels and users.
If this option is yes (default), KLINE by itself sets global (propagated) bans.
If this option is no, KLINE by itself sets a local kline following cluster{},
compatible with 3.2 and older versions.
A notice will be sent to any force parted users that the channel
is temporarily/permanently unavailable on the server.
A new config option channel::resv_forcepart can be used to disable this.

to restrict channel names to printable ascii only.
Like disable_fake_channels this only applies to joins
by local users; unlike disable_fake_channels it applies
to opers as well.
Specifying need_ssl on auth{} denies the connection if
it is not SSL/TLS, much like need_ident or need_sasl.
Specifying need_ssl on operator{} refuses opering with
ERR_NOOPERHOST if the connection is not SSL/TLS.
