set::ident::connect-timeout for the read timeout also.
This could lead to failed ident lookups on higher latency connections
because it only gave 3 seconds for the entire ident lookup rather than
the (max) 10 seconds that was intended.
Now both values are properly obeyed (3 for connect, 7 for read
timeouts, by default).
This only happens in some circumstances.
From now on EventDel() will simply mark the event as deleted.
The actual freeing is started in DoEvents() after the event loop.
This makes it safe to use EventDel() everywhere.
The previous attempt to fix that issue was
d29a55a8db but it introduced a
new crash issue for a slightly different case, as mentioned in
https://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=5553
when used on a multi-server network. This was due to the PART event
inadvertently not being sent towards the SAJOIN direction.

form an insecure connection. There we explain a bit on the why and how to
configure some random IRC clients.
This also silently adds support for multi-line messages in
set::plaintext-policy::user-message (for warn) and
set::plaintext-policy::oper-message (for warn and deny).
Eg with anope with the KILL option turned ON, a minute after taking
a registered a nick.
Very similar to c9b88343e2 which was
fixed in 5.0.0-beta1 for non-forced nick changes.
files that end in .core, while on many systems it is just 'core'
without the dot. Reverted back to U4-style core file finding now.
Thanks to DeviL for helping to trace this issue.
off not using this and you'll want to use the three other hooks anyway:
* HOOKTYPE_LOCAL_QUIT - for local quits of registered clients
* HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_QUIT - for remote quits of registered clients
* HOOKTYPE_UNKUSER_QUIT - for local quits of unregistered clients
(that is, before they have completed NICK+USER etc)
and HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_CHANMODE are called from the SJOIN code.
We now set the samode argument to -1 if it is an SJOIN server sync,
so chanmodes/permanent won't destroy the channel while processing
the SJOIN. The SJOIN code already takes care of destroying at the end.
so they can fetch more history than the standard on-join history.
In the future we are also likely to implement IRCv3 CHATHISTORY
once that becomes an official specification. However, until it is
specified and until most major clients support it, several years
are likely to pass. It would be a shame to withhold channel
history to many end-users in the meantime when it takes so little
effort from us to provide an easy command.

And in particular the new section:

which explains the relationship between on-join playback,
HISTORY and CHATHISTORY.
This does NOT "fix" https://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=5538:
WHOIS nick
:localserver.example.com 311 test nick ident host * :realname
WHOIS nick nick
:remoteserver.example.com 311 test nick ident host * realname
.. because your IRC protocol parser should not care about a :
or a lack of :. For text not containing spaces nor :-prefix there
is no difference in meaning and it should parse to the same.
However, this DOES fix an issue if the realname itself started
with a colon, such as "USER x x x ::something":
WHOIS nick
:localserver.example.com 311 test nick ident host * ::something
WHOIS nick nick
:remoteserver.example.com 311 test nick ident host * :something
.. because that does not have the same meaning and is a real
incorrect drop of a character.
Yeah, I took into account spaces, but not a word starting with :, my bad.
Release notes:
+* [Channel history](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Channel_history) used
+incorrect time internally, resulting in messages expiring too soon.
+The syntax is now really ```/MODE #chan +H lines:time-in-minutes```.
+To make clear that the time is in minutes, an 'm' will be added
+automatically by the server (eg ```+H 15:1440m```).
Bug reported by k4be.
set::oper-auto-join or tld::channel was broken. It worked for the
very first user since boot or rehash, but after that only the
first channel was joined. Reported by PeGaSuS in
