William Pitcock b583faf970 Add support for customizing the usable nick length.
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.

Basically what this patch does is allow for users to use cidr masks when
setting bans, exceptions, and invite invex(modes beI respectively).  This
works for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.  

I won't go into details of how cidr works here, but to use them, you could
do something like:

/mode #foo +b *!*@10.0.0.0/8 
/mode #foo +e *!*@10.0.10.0/24
