    Log Message:
    Add bbs.export_filelist() method

    This is the last thing needed to complete the new temp/archive menu module implemented in JavaScript for v3.19.

    File list generation can easily be done in JS (see filelist.js for example), but since we have this function already in C++ (i.e. for including filelists in QWK packets) - might as well make it available for use in JS.

    Log Message:
    Add JS bbs methods: save_msg_scan() and reload_msg_scan()

    These methods aren't normally needed (msg scan config/ptrs are
    automatically loaded upon logon and saved upon logoff), but for users
    (e.g. sysops) that can be logged-in concurrently or experimenting with
    scans, these methods can be useful and I plan to expose in a loadable
    module next.

    Log Message:
    Add 'first_node' and 'last_node' properties to JS bbs object

    This allows scripts (e.g. login.js) to have custom behavior (e.g. shortening the maximum inactivity timeout) based on how close the current node is to the configured last node number. There may be other uses too, but for the vast majority of Synchronet systems, first_node will always be 1 and last_node the same as system.nodes/lastnode. Ugh, inconsistent naming. :-(

    insufficient). Thank you Coverity!

    bbs.load_text() can now be used to load text*.ini file

    For sysops that don't want to use the user's chosen language to auto-load alternate text strings, they can specify some other filename from the ctrl directory (so long as it ends in .ini). I wouldn't use text.*.ini however, since those filenames are assumed to be language translations and will automatically appear in user_settings.js as a user-selectable language. text-*.ini would be fine though as an alternate text.ini filename:
    not colliding with text.ini or text.*.ini
