With this patch ngIRCd displays IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]:<port>" when accepting new connections and later, if no successful DNS lookup could be made (or DNS is disabled altogether).

Change VERSION to include the __DATE__ when compiling from within Xcode. When building using "make xcode" or "make osxpkg" VERSION already is defined to the "real" version number set in configure.in.

- PidFile, ServerUID and ServerGID are read from actual server configuration - Exit code and behaviour is more LSB compliant - New "status" and "test" sub-functions

make sure it creates & and +, and accepts channel names without a special character (ngircd should treat 'Name = chan' as 'Name = #chan').

avoid "name[0] == '+'" where possible, having Channel_IsModeless() makes things much more obvious.

Don't echo multiple syntax error messages (461) on invalid commands, but break after the first one. In addition, this solves corrupted 'Unknown mode "+' messages.

When using OpenSSL, the following annoying "error" message was logged whenever an encrypted connection was shut down in a orderly fashion: TLS/SSL Connection shutdown: ConnSSL_Read: Unable to determine error of course, this isn't an error at all.

one ssl related flags was not cleared on ssl shutdown. introduce and use CONN_SSL_FLAGS_ALL to zap them all.

commit 6bc2d3d06e9cb4da68ea4b63d9b6b219d88ab927 (New connection option CONN_RFC1459) forgot to adjust the ssl bitmasks. The result is that when a compressed AND encrypted server link goes down the memory allocated by zlib and the r/w buffers are no longer free'd as the previous ConnSSL_Free() would then also remove the CONN_ZIP flag from the flag mask.

Store the file name of channel key files and reopen them on each access (on each JOIN command) insted of just storing the file handles. This eliminates the special requirements (no delete) and makes sure that always the actual file contents are used in all circumstances.

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"!

This fixes commit 5a3128243f4b60 and makes the test suite ("make check") run again without errors.
