settings+sysop: Fix bug in settings editor that can corrupt settings

When hanging up the connection in the settings struct editor without
giving a response, session_menu returns 0, which we then returned
from struct_editor while setting new_config to NULL. Then we wrote
that NULL dereference as the new db config which trashed it :(
 
When the sesson is ending, make struct_editor return -1 and add an
explicit check in sysop_edit_settings to make sure the new config
isn't NULL.
