    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.

    Log a file "create" error if process_edited_file() returns a negative value

    I discovered that sbbs_t::editfile() (exposed as JS console.editfile) just silently failed if it couldn't write to the destination file
    (e.g. permission denied by OS).

    Internal message/line editor improvements

    * Allow left and right arrow keys to move between lines (within reason)
    * Use the K_USEOFFSET getstr() mode flag to keep cursor position when moving
    between lines with arrow keys
    * Be smart about integer padding when /Listing lines with numbers
    * Add range checking (!) and better error reporting for /Lx argument value

    Log Message:
    Fix off-by-one usage of snprintf() when copying message subject

    - when converting from CP437 to UTF-8
    - when reading from RESULT.ED drop file

    This effectively limited message subjects in some instances to 69 chars
    instead of 70. This bug was caught while debugging a replied-message subject conversion from UTF-8 to CP437 issue reported by Accession.
