    Make the [BBS] MaxSessionInactivity 10m (not 0), when not set in sbbs.ini

    We've had this value as the default in sbbs.ini for a while now, so should be safe to use as the upgrading-sysop (who wouldn't have this value in their sbbs.ini file, most likely) setting.

    Not all default sbbs.ini values are true "defaults" (meaning, if they don't exist in the file, then same value would be used) - but we should do an audit and correct those mismatches at some point.

    Read/write the new sbbs.ini [Mail] PostTo setting

    Whoops, missed this from the previous commit.

    But testing the pipes for jsexec crashes too, so that's not a bad thing.

    sbbs_ini: default IPv6 rate-limit subnet prefix to /64

    Per-host IPv6 counting is naive: a typical IPv6 subscriber gets a /64
    (or larger) allocation from their ISP, so a single attacker can trivially
    cycle through addresses they own and evade per-host rate limits. /64 is
    the smallest unit that meaningfully represents "one subscriber".

    Bump the default RateLimitSubnetPrefix6 from 0 (per-host) to 64 for all
    four servers that have rate limits (web/ftp/mail/services). IPv4 stays
    at 0 (per-host) since v4 addresses are meaningfully individual.

    Existing installs with an explicit RateLimitSubnetPrefix6=0 in their
    sbbs.ini keep that value; only the missing-key case picks up the new
    default.
