    Log Message:
    Create/use C++ class wrapper for cached ip/host/ip-silent.can files

    I have a pretty well maintained text/ip.can file, and it is still over 500KB. That half-MB file was being read over a network share for every single TCP connection. This fixes that.

    I'm not using this for the terminal server yet since it doesn't get hit nearly as frequently as the other servers and there's special handling of .can files there (the auto display of bad*.msg files).

    This commit also includes fixes for a lot of new warnings in ftpsrvr.cpp when built with g++.

    so will this speed things up for people with just large .can files?
    i remember telling you years ago that mine was big and there was a large
    delay to login. i had to trim it down short.

    Yes, but the speed up is only for the non-terminal servers (e.g. the web, mail, ftp, and services servers) right now.

    Eliminate redundant reads of ipfilter_exempt.cfg

    We were still reading this file from disk in loginBanned() (we don't even need to call that function if the host is exempt) and other places. Nothing even calls host_is_exempt() now.

    This makes the servers resilient (not crash) if load_cfg() fails.

    This resolves the segfault reported as part of issue #685 follow-up discussion:

    src/sbbs3/ftpsrvr.cpp mailsrvr.cpp main.cpp services.cpp websrvr.cpp Log Message:
    Ensure absolutely nothing executes after thread_down()

    Round 1 (2fb010d6c3) moved heavy shared-resource ops before thread_down
    but left lprintf calls after it. Every lprintf goes through lputs which
    calls mqtt_lputs(&mqtt, ...) Ä and cleanup destroys mqtt via
    mqtt_shutdown(). In services.cpp, the post-thread_down lprintf calls active_clients() which iterates the service[] array reading
    protected_uint32 values (CRITICAL_SECTIONs on Windows) that cleanup
    destroys at line 1807. Since all server DLLs share the CRT heap,
    corruption from any server is detected when another server calls free().

    Move all remaining lprintf calls before thread_down. For log messages
    that reported the thread_down() return value as "threads remain", use protected_uint32_value(thread_count) - 1 as an approximation instead.
