    src/sbbs3/newuser.cpp
    Log Message:
    Do user alias, name, handle validity checking - always

    Don't depend on the newuser_prompt module to do this correctly (e.g. set the 'O' restriction here, detect duplicates, disallowed names, etc.).

    The rlogin_name can always be used to initialize the useron.alias

    Log Message:
    Remove the new user prompts that are now handled in newuser_prompts.js

    Since the newuser prompts mod defaults to this script name (if blank), there was really no way to revert to the hard-coded logic any more anyway.

    Set SS_NEWUSER here, if it's important, it should be set in the C++ code

    Log Message:
    Paranoia around new user strings ending in white-space

    We can't be sure that a newuser_prompts mod will do the right thing

    One confirmed bug was when a handle was not prompted for, the default handle (copied from the alias and truncated to 8 chars) could end in whitespace.

    Don't enforce unique real name or handle here if sysop opted not to prompt

    the new user for those strings.

    Eliminate the situation that Keyop reported in IRC whereby he had SCFG->System->New User Prompts->Chat Handle / Call Sign set to "No", but had Force Unique Handle / Call set to "Yes", resulting in a new user registration failure with error:
    !ERROR in newuser.cpp line 138 (newuser) checking "New user handle ...
