    Use new method bbs.matchuserdata() instead of system.matchuserdata()

    Cosmetic improvements and an important bug fix

    Whoa, can't use strchr() here, this ain't C or C++!

    Don't need to set SS_NEWUSER here since it's now always set in sbbs_t::newuser().

    Use gettext() - so less use of text.dat strings (e.g. ContinueQ which now has no uses!).

    More prompting to cancel the new user registration process and more details about rejecting user strings/values and when restarting the prompt loop.

    Log Message:
    Turn off autoterm along with color

    the COLOR bit is automatically set in autoterm when pretty much any terminal
    is auto-detected, so we need to disable autoterm to disable COLOR.

    The COLOR flag should probably be deprecated for a MONO flag that's only set
    by the user (and never in auto-term) at some point.

    For now, this works.

    exec/newuser_prompts.js
    Log Message:
    Clear the console.aborted flag before printing any errors

    This handles Ctrl-C aborted input a little better.

    Truncate whitespace off the end of the (copied and possibly truncated) handle value.

    Default to No/Yes prompts when options are off by default or were turned off

    Give the user more opportunities to cancel gracefully with ^C or by answering "No" to "Info correct?" prompt.
