binkp: Remember when we failed connecting and delay next poll
If we had messages in the outbox and triggered a connection which
then failed, the main periodic loop will just pick up those outbox
packets right away and try reconnecting. In that case, don't look
for outbox packets and just use the next poll time.
Amendments on November 14, 2023
binkp: Abort idle connections, respect binkp_delete_done for sending
Keep track of the time we last received a frame from the server and
if nothing happens in a while, kill the connection.
Use the binkp_delete_done setting to move processed outbound packets
into the processed folder for debugging.
Also send the actual mtime of the packet we're sending instead of
1, since it can be helpful for the binkp server operator.

binkp: Check for a dead TCP connection in many places
Previously if the connection dropped in the middle of fetching, we
may have been sitting in a loop forever (though still yielding, so
it was just killing the binkp/task thread).

*: Do config changes on the fly, restarting modules as needed
Annotate each config option with which component it needs restarted
when it changes and do those after saving from the sysop menu. This
also provides the ability to log each changed config option with its
old and new values.

binkp: Rearrange the deck chairs again, use outbound folder
Instead of asking mail for pending deliveries, mail will just make
a fidopkt and hand it to binkp, which will then encode it and write
it to its outbox folder. At the next connection, scan the outbox
and send any files in it.
Also switch to a single binkp_connection instead of passing one
around. We're only going to do one connection at a time anyway.
Amendments on March 7, 2023
binkp+mail: Add support for sending FidoNet packets
When mail is addressed to something with @ and a parseable FidoNet
node, save it and mark it for pending dispatch. When binkp runs,
scan all mail and find messages for dispatch and send them out.
Amendments on March 1, 2023
binkp+board: On second thought, store FidoNet messages differently
These are different enough from our own posts/threads that it makes
more sense to store them in separate formats and just adapt board
viewer to show both.
Add a config setting to set whether binkp will delete files after
processing or move them to a binkp-processed directory. This allows
keeping files for re-importing later, but then being able to turn
the setting on to delete files after processing to avoid filling up
the disk.
Also use non-fatal malloc/calloc in binkp processor since it's not
critical and can just retry later when we have memory.
Amendments on February 23, 2023
binkp: Add FidoNet binkp fetcher/parser
This connects to a binkp server, logs in, fetches outstanding files
and caches them to a "binkp" subdirectory, marks them "got", and then
scans each cached file to find ZIP files containing ".pkt" files,
which are then passed to fidopkt.
Next up will be to actually import those parsed packets into a bile
database for viewing like boards.
