    Set cfg_changed flag (so msgbases are created/updated) when changing int-codes

    When changing message or file area internal code prefixes or suffixes, the message base files need to be (re)created (e.g. in data/subs or data/dirs).
    The 'cfg_changed' flag is the thing that indicates that we need to do that for each message or file area and we weren't setting that flag in these cases.

    Note: this doesn't rename the message base files, so if they have content (messages or files), they'll just remain in the old internal code named files and require the sysop to deal with manually.

    Add ability to change MailBase storage method from self-packing to fast alloc

    This option has been built into the Synchronet runtime for 30+ years or so, but there was never a configuration menu provided to sysops to enable it. 99.9%
    of sysops want a "self-packing" mail base, but any sysop that has recurring issues with mailbase corruption (Josh Renaud?) might want to try "fast allocation" as an option - though they will need to periodically pack the mail base to save disk space.

    SMB Fast allocation storage is backwards compatible with self-packing, so a sysop can switch between the two storage methods without a problem.
