Fix and extend documentation a little bit - Fix syntax of LINKS amd LIST commands. - Whitespace and spelling fixes. - Add some more information about IRCv3 support.
Update doc/Protocol.txt for IRCv3 WEBIRC extension See commit d0f9d3d92.
Cosmetic changes to METADATA Update certfp and sort entries.
Implement account login support This is done via the `accountname' METADATA command and used to automatically identify users after netsplits or across service restarts.
Add certificate fingerprint support
Rework cloaked hostname handling, implement "METADATA cloakhost" Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. And both fields can be set independently using the "METADATA host" and "METADATA cloakhost" commands. This allows "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
Add new IRC+ server flag "X": "XOP modes supported" This flag indicates, that the server supports the enhanced "xop channel user modes", like channel owner, admin, and halfop. This information is used to make sure that no unsupported CHANINFO commands are sent to servers not supporting such mode prefixes, for example.
