proper RPL_ENDOFWHO_MSG instead of nothing. (Ali Shemiran)

- Get rid of cvs-version.* and CVSDATE definition.
- Use dotted-decimal IP address if hostname is >= 64.
- Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.
- New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify
- the source ip adress to use when connecting to remote server.
+ the source IP address to use when connecting to remote server.
- New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
- Enhanced the IRC+ protocol to support an enhanced "server handshake" and
- enable server to recognice numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) and 376 (ENDOFMOTD).

See doc/Protocol.txt for details.
- Re-added doc/SSL.txt to distribution -- got lost somewhere!?
- Fixes the wrong logging output when nested servers are introduced
- Better error reporting to clients on connect.
- Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
