    Add some bbs.online checks to hopefully detect disconnected user better

    Seen disconnected users "stuck" in irc.js for long periods of time. Hopefully this helps.

    irc.js: pass the user's real IP address to the IRC server via WEBIRC

    Every BBS user reached the IRC server from the BBS's own IP address, so
    IP bans placed on the server or by services could not target an individual
    user without banning the whole BBS, and a banned user could get around a
    ban by connecting through the BBS.

    When configured, send WEBIRC with the user's IP address and hostname
    before registering, as web gateways such as chat.synchro.net do. The
    password is sent only when the IP address actually connected to is listed
    in webirc_servers, never by server name: a round-robin name such as irc.synchro.net can resolve to servers run by others.

    New [irc] options in ctrl/modopts.ini: webirc_password (matching the
    server's [WebIRC] Password) and webirc_servers (comma-separated IP
    addresses). Without them, behavior is unchanged.
