    Log Message:
    Re-enable the short inactivity timeout for non-terminal connections (bots)

    As of Oct-25-2018, the NO_EXASCII flag was set in the autoterm variable
    when there was no ANSI terminal auto-detected. This defeated the short inactivity timeout feature of login.js because it was checking specifically
    for a zero-value autoterm.

    So change this logic to check for no ANSI, PETSCII, or UTF-8 (the 3 indicators of a valid terminal) - though I suppose PETSCII is questionable (it's not actually auto-detected, just a non-standard port usually).

    exec/login.js
    Log Message:
    Use User.is_sysop instead of comparison of user's sec level < 90

    Don't bother emailing a blank password (shouldn't even get here in that
    case).

    Don't send legacy prompts (NN:, PW:) unless legacy_prompts=true is set
    in ctrl/modopts/login.ini (or the [login] section of ctrl/modopts.ini).
    I got tired of seeing these old/obsolete prompts (does WWIV even still
    send them? I don't think so) in captures of terminals that don't support
    bare CR correctly (hello ROMTERM) - and since I'm doubtful there are any
    login scripts that actually key off of these prompts any more, just disable thenm by default.
