    Log Message:
    Add run-time check for non-terminating/unsafe snprintf() function

    Only in debug builds.
    If this check fails, then we may be producing/using potentially un-terminated strings and need to do something about that. By default, xpdev/genwrap.h redefines snprintf() as safe_snprintf(), so this check *should* always succeed.

    Log Message:
    Refactor timed-event and QWKnet call-out scheduling

    Reduced probably the biggest if() conditionals in sbbs to a single line by breaking the "time to run" logic into separate functions and sharing those functions between both QWKnet and timed-event scheduling. There was no actual problem with this code/logic, it was just very difficult to read and understand and step-through with a debugger and understand why or why not an event might run under different configurations and circumstances.

    Also removed the PostLink network call-out logic. pnet.dab is no longer read and written-to and if you happened to have any PostLink hubs configured (how?!?), they'll no longer be "polled". This is the only functional change unless I did something wrong in the process.

    One thing I noticed and contemplated, the current time is not queried between consecutive timed-event scheduling/execution. It's possible that an executed event can take a long time and impact the criteria for the next timed event. The events are checked for scheduling every few seconds, so I can't really think of a big down-side to the current design (apparently intended to reduce unnecessary querying of the current date/time), so I didn't do anything to change that. Just something I noticed.

    Batch download queue not cleared upon packed QWK packet

    Before the "new filebase" merge of 2021, a user's batch download queue would be cleared when a QWK packet was successfully packed for them via the event thread (i.e. triggered via semaphore file). That was lost in the new filebase change (the batch download queue would not be cleared) - caught by Coverity (CID 350336).

    It appears pre-packed QWK packets never cleared the batch download queue (does anyone actually use this feature in this day and age?) - fixed.

    ... from ERROR to WARNING, but log the human-readable logon time too.

    This condition can easily happen if the system clock is corrected (e.g. a few seconds via NTP adjustment) during a quick connect/disconnect.

    Don't call logoffstats() unless a user actually successfully logged-in. I don't think sysops actually want all the time bots sit at the logon prompt counted as "time online" in their stats anyway.

    Log Message:
    Output snappiness improvements.

    When the system checks for an incoming byte, if there's any pending
    output, send it immediately, bypassing the outbuf highwater mark.

    This allows the final non-full packet to be sent without waiting
    for the OutbufDrainTimeout (default 10ms), and makes a big difference
    when doing a large number of ANSI queries (send an ANSI code, wait
    for a response). There's a small but noticable placebo effect as
    well that makes everything feel smoother.

    This commit also cleans up the output thread where it pulls from
    the ring buffer into the linear buffer to take advantage of the new
    event-based ring buffers. Much easier to read now.

    Speaking of easier to read, this also includes some whitespace
    fixups.

    Add a 60-second timeout to sbbs_t::passthru_socket_activate()

    Keyop reported an issue via irc whereby a user that failed to download a file would leave the node "hung" in "downloading via telnet" node status even
    though the user had long since disconnected and the log reflected that the terminal server was aware of this:

    term Node 4 <user> sexyz: !1152 zmodem_recv_raw TIMEOUT (10 seconds)
    term Node 4 <user> sexyz: !zmodem_recv_header TIMEOUT

    and

    term Node 3 <user> external Timeout waiting for output buffer to empty
    <minutes later>
    term Node 3 connection reset by peer on receive
    term Node 3 !ERROR 32 sending on socket 96

    These nodes were then locked up in call to passthru_socket_activate(false)
    as reported by gdb, e.g.

    Looking at passthru_socket_activate(), the deactivation path (called at the
    end of external() in this case), it was clear that this could be an infinite loop in the case the user had disconnected:

    do { // Allow time for the passthru_thread to move any pending socket data to the outbuf
    SLEEP(100); // Before the node_thread starts sending its own data to the outbuf
    } while(RingBufFull(&outbuf));

    These flush/purge loops aren't strictly needed if the user has disconnected, but as can be seen by the above logs, the terminal server may not know that (the socket may not indicate disconnect) before passthru_socket_activate()
    is called by external().

    So... worst case, just do the activation and deactivation buffer flushes
    and purges for 60 seconds.

    Log a critical error message if a node is WFC, but its socket is still in use

    This should avoid/work-around issue #630

    Nelgin's terminal server log indicated that the node's configuration was being reloaded for a new client connection (which doesn't normally/always happen, only when there's been a config file change or a node "rerun" requested),
    while there was still a user online using that node. This would explain the segfault (configuration fields being freed and reallocated).

    The node_socket[] array indicates when a node thread is actively servicing
    a client, so it should contain INVALID_SOCKET for the any node's that WFC.
    If it doesn't, that means something/someone changed the node's status value
    to 0 (WFC) in the node.dab file while the node was still in-use. Let's not crash in this case and rather just log the message and give the client the
    next available node (if any).

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/main.cpp
    Log Message:
    Close node socket after waiting one hour to go inactive to run exclusive event

    After 90 minutes of waiting, we'll do the same abort wait (and run the event anyway), but closing the node's socket should be enough to get the node_thread to terminate and set the node status back to NODE_WFC.

    Apparently some sysops like to leave their terminals idling (e.g. running MRC) and never disconnect and since they're T-exempt, the BBS won't limit their
    time online to allow events to run. Exclusive events will wait for all nodes
    to become inactive, but give up after 90 minutes of waiting and run the event anyway and set node status to WFC at the end. If the node was actually still connected/in-use, this could lead to the (new) critical error messages logged "!Node X status is WFC, but the node socket (N) and thread are still in use!" and other chaos (NODE STATUS FIXUP and the like).

    This should prevent all that by just abruptly disconnecting the node after waiting 60 minutes for the sysop to gracefully disconnect. The log message
    when this happens:
    "!TIRED of waiting for node N to become inactive (status=X), closing socket Y"

    Remove unnecessary call to DuplicateHandle() in Win32 builds of sbbs_t::init()

    The client_socket_dup is overwritten after with the return value of accept(), so this was likely a socket/handle leak (since commit 74470573, 17 years ago).

    Noticed this only after logging a new error in an SSH connection when this
    call to DuplicateHandle() failed for some reason (WinError 6), but it seems like it's been redundant code for a long time now. So just ace it and possibly fix a resource leak.

    Unlock ssh_mutex before calling sftps_recv()

    This should fix the sftp hangs...
    While FreeBSD will return EDEADLOCK when a mutex would deadlock,
    Linux will do what I ask and deadlock.

    Since we're not checking the return value of pthread_mutex_lock(),
    this would go completely unnoticed on FreeBSD, resulting in the
    mutex being unlocked early and all sorts of unprotected accesses
    would happen, potentially doing crazy things. On Linux it just
    deadlocks, and taking a peek at the thread backtraces makes the
    problem obvious.

    So, point to Linux for making life more correct for people who
    do incorrect things (locking without checking the return value).

    I'd also like to thank nelgin, for sticking with me on this issue
    and being my gdb puppet.

    And really, this commit should be shared by all the contributors
    who... ¨¨¨¨

    This will allow us to change scfg_t.event[].last to a time_t value (from time32_t) whenever we abandon Borland C/C++ in the future.

    Now it's trival for sysops to view/edit when their timed events 'last run' values. And there's no more endianness concerns. Bad .dab files, bad, go away.

    After I wrote this change, I found the original conversion code in v4upgrade.c which is almost exactly the same (except I was going to write to different filename). Finally actually implemented this. Next up: qnet.dab
