    Log Message:
    Fix access-control by terminal cap issue introduced a week ago

    In commit 3f17c245, I was addressing the issue reported by Nelgin via IRC: <nelgin> If you login using a term that doesn't support ansi, it changes your settings - can you set 'em back when done?
    <DigitalMan> if you have auto-term enabled, it doesn't actually change your settings, just what's in use during that session
    <nelgin> I logged in using my BBC emulator which doesn't do ansi, then when I logged in through syncterm, I got the display like it was on the BBC. All my characters replaced with #'s and stuff.
    <nelgin> I had to go back into the user menu to fix it. That is going to confuse users.

    However, the chk_ar() function in userdat.c which is used to populate JS objects (e.g. xtrn_area.sec_list[].prog_list[]) uses the user.misc value (cannot call term_supports()), so the current user terminal flags need to be reflected in user.misc always. So the real fix for the originally reported problem is to clear the charset-related terminal settings when logging in with auto-terminal settings enabled (and before the auto-detected charset flags are OR'd in).

    I toyed with the idea of storing a copy of the term_supports() result in client_t, which is passed to chk_ar() when appropriate, but decided that was a bit overkill and there were issues with servers that don't have term_supports (e.g. the web server) and properly populating access-controlled areas in the JS object model (e.g. door games that require ANSI). Better to use the last-auto-detected terminal caps than assuming "no" terminal capabilities in that scenario.

    Remove defunct files from batch download queue during logon

    If a user doesn't have access to download a file that's in their batch queue, remove it without saying anything to the user (but log a notice-level message about it) during logon. Files that no longer exist in the filebase are treated the same way.

    Log an error if getstats() returns a failure

    I saw my logon.jsonl file getting cycled multiple times a day recently on Vert and suspect this function call may have been failing.

    Revert "Log an error if getstats() returns a failure"

    This reverts commit 8266da9c329d2ba49ff2001cf542a0d05dc9987e.

    We're already passing a sock_init callback (ls_cb) which is supposed to set
    the socket options (call set_socket_options), so this change shouldn't be necessary and reportedly caused more issues binding ircd sockets when running ircd.js via jsexec (though I didn't see this myself).
