For one, [draft-brocklesby-irc-isupport-02][1] already defines "ascii" as the
default value. According to section 2 ("Except as
explicitly stated in its definition, a parameter should not be sent
unless it changes this default value, or the default value is vague,
badly defined, or differs between IRC server implementations"), there is
no point in sending it.
For another, [version 03 of the same draft][2] removes CHARSET ("It was
found to be unworkable; a correct specification could not be devised to
represent its meaning across implementations."), and the token is not
present at all in [draft-hardy-irc-isupport-00][3].

s_assert requires some higher-level functionality that shouldn't be
present in ircd_defs.h. ircd_defs.h is used by ssld, which has no notion
of logging or sending IRC messages. Additionally, some of the headers
s_assert depends on result in conflicting definitions in ssld.c.
This change also fixes the compile when using --enable-assert=soft.
When the configuration file is unreadable or not existing, charybdis will now report the POSIX error message from the failed call. This is a compromise between the behavior in f951460ae9 and f6f049070e.
Previously it was in src/ircd.c, but accroding to jilles, this is a better place for the notification.
This changes a patch made in adef4da10c and amended in 65d921173c and f6f049070e.
This is to follow the precident set by Atheme's atheme.conf.example file. Since the ircd now fails to start on a non-existant configuration file, seeing that message would make one know where to look.
This was broken by 6f7b36d5d0 in February
2013, as join failures are the only situation where a non-trivial
numeric is passed through from other code to be sent to a client. Fix it
by porting more code from ircd-ratbox 3.1.
