aChannel to Channel, and some more. Third party module coders will
love this. But.. it makes things more logical and the doxygen output
will look more clean and logical as well.
(More changes will follow)
and remove old dependency field (never used, was always NULL,
broken since 3.2.x)
I'll add some constraints later on things like names and versions.
IOTW: more changes to follow, don't mass update your own mods yet.
* The operclass privileges have been redone. Since there were 50+ changes
to the 100+ privileges it makes little sense to list the changes here.
If, like 99% of the users, you use default operclasses such as "globop"
and "admin-with-override" then you don't need to do anything.
However, if you have custom operclass { } blocks then the privileges
will have to be redone. For more information on the conversion process,
see https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/FAQ#New_operclass_permissions
For the new list of permissions, with much better naming and grouping:

The inconsistency in the privileges was initially reported by webczat in
https://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=4771
The subsequent reorganization took two full days, so.. hopefully the
people who are using - or plan to use - custom operclasses will like the
new layout... except that they need to redo their work of course ;)
This resulted in 5-10 changes in the existing code where parameters were off.
Hopefully I didn't make too many mistakes when writing the hook prototypes as it was a tedious job.
An (unintentional) benefit of this new system is that you can see the hook prototypes in include/modules.h like:
/* Hook prototypes */
int hooktype_local_quit(aClient *sptr, char *comment);
....
Though, the wiki is likely a better place: https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Dev:Hook_API
with a default of 3:90 (3 joins per 90 seconds). There's rarely any need
to configure this on a per-channel basis and this way it's enabled by
default for everyone (unless you decide not to load load the module)
