    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/userdat.c userdat.h
    Log Message:
    Add getnodeclient() to read a node's client.ini file

    One weird thing is that client_t:
    - has just a const char* for the protocol, so that's strdup/free'd here (consider making this a char array to simplify this API)
    - does not have a socket descriptor, so that value is returned
    - does not have local addr/port info

    Log Message:
    Unify the int return values of userdat.c functions

    These functions now return a common set of non-zero error values (where appropriate), defined in userdat.h

    Don't return errno.

    Log Message:
    logoutuserdat() uses new function fputuserdat() to reduce open/lock/r/w ops

    Reduces from 4 to 1 the open/lock/read/write/close operatons of the userbase (user.tab) file upon user log-off.

    There's more places in sbbs where we do a lot of putuser* calls that could be (now) optimized in a similar fashion, but logoutuserdat() is called often (especially by the web, ftp, mail and services servers), so this one was obvious place to reduce contention on the userbase file.
