I'm preparing to PR a succession of privs changes with the ultimate goal
of severely limiting the scope of the binary oper/user dichotomy and
move conceptually distinct oper functions into their own privs.
Accomplishing this is a non-trivial task, and can wait, but it's
inconvenient now to have such functions enabled by the same mechanism
that grants any privs at all--so I'm moving all of them to a
transitional priv with the intention of eroding that later.
/modrestart used to be implemented as a normal command and could crash
when used remotely because it would reload m_encap, which was on the
call stack at the time. This was fixed in 41390bfe5f. However,
/modreload has exactly the same problem, so I'm giving it the
same treatment.
Incidentally: This bug was first discovered in ircd-seven, where the
`/mod*` commands themselves live in the core, so m_encap was the only way
the crash could happen (and it didn't most of the time, because m_encap
would only be moved if you got unlucky). But `/mod*` are in modules in
charybdis, so /modrestart would have unloaded the code it was in the
middle of executing. With that in mind, I'm not sure how it ever
appeared to work.
Reloading modules sends CAP DEL followed by an immediate CAP NEW:
:staberinde.local CAP * DEL :account-tag
:staberinde.local CAP * NEW :account-tag
This isn't very nice. /modrestart is particularly bad. In order to avoid
doing this, we remember the capability set at the beginning of module
operations, compare that with the set afterwards, and report only the
differences with CAP {DEL,NEW}.
ENCAP module. The ms_encap function is responsible for dispatching the
command handler and then the modules will eventually be reloaded.
However, if the ENCAP module is reloaded to a different address, the
stack now contains the address of a function that no longer exists.
Also, in this version of the IRCd, the module restarting functionality
was located in a function that is itself located in a module, so things
will also go badly if that module is reloaded to a different address,
too.
Return immediately from the command handler and have the event loop
call the function responsible for reloading the modules instead.

When certificate validation fails, the certificate fingerprint won't be
calculated, resulting in an attempt to format NULL into a log line
showing the fingerprint. Instead, add a different error message for
missing fingerprint (i.e. validation failed).
Build the same message but send it to the local client first,
so that the echo-message capability works. But don't do it when
sending a message to yourself.

There's no reason to really have these in the main ircd anymore, static
modules are dead and aren't coming back.
To ensure people don't do something hopelessly retarded, this is a core
module.
Also fix up some return values and stuff to use bool (or void if
nothing). I just did it whilst I was here.
According to jilles, the return value used to signify whether or not the
client had exited. This was error-prone and was fixed a long, long time
ago, but the return value was left int for historical reasons.
Since the return type is not used (and has no clear use case anyway),
it's safe to just get rid of it.
Charybdis requires C99 already, so it's high time we start using
stdbool. I've converted a few pieces of code already.
A lot of the old code that uses YES/NO should probably be updated too
because that's fucking hideous.
