    When writing/reading quotes.txt, ignore first 2 lines if WWIV-type

    WWIV writes 2 lines of metadata to the beginning of its quotes.txt file created for external message editors. Its not clear yet what these lines should contain, but the first line apparently should contain a '#' character since BREdit checks for this character before deciding to throw-away/ignore these lines (don't use them for quoted text). Thanks mlong for this tip!

    So if the external editor is set to "WWIV CHAIN.TXT" in SCFG (even if the door doesn't need/use it), then the quotes.txt file created by Synchronet will contain the extra 2 lines. We're just writing a # to the first line and the second line is blank.

    This fixes reported issue #188.

    writemsg() was changing the global smb.subnum and when writing an email or netmail, that subnum value is -1 (since it's not a sub-board) and then later show_msg() is using the smb.subnum as a index into scfg.sub[] when determining if the current user already voted on the message being displayed and then: bang, crash, fall down, go boom.

    Simply saving and restoring the smb.subnum when executing an external editor is all that was needed here. And this is the first use of the C++ "auto" keyword in Synchronet!

    Bounds-check the buffer being written in msgeditor()

    Replace the suspicious strcpy/strcat's in msgeditor(), the built-in line editor, with bounds-enforced snprintf() calls.
    Also, properly define MAX_LINE_LEN to account for the trailing \r\n on each line. It appears we've been under allocating the total possible message buffer size (by 2 bytes per line) for a while now.
    These 2 changes together should fix issue #547: apparent heap corruption due
    to 'buf' overflow in msgeditor().
    Also added a line count check/cap-enforcement with logged error message if exceeded (should never happen).

    Also fixed in this commit: off-by-one when enforcing max message length in msgeditor().

    Also added checks that the 'cols' (used in MAX_LINE_LEN) are reasonable values (40+), 2 was below the threshold of what would be expected to work since
    there is logic that deducts 4 from cols, for example.
