Introduce a new module (core-theme.{c,h}) holding the in-memory registry
of built-in themes used by the upcoming /theme command:
- struct t_theme stores name, description, date and weechat version
captured at registration time, plus a hashtable of overrides keyed by
full option name (file.section.option) -> value string.
- theme_register (name, overrides) creates a new theme or merges the
given overrides into an existing one (later calls override duplicate
keys); this is the API plugins and scripts will use to contribute
per-theme color values.
- theme_search and theme_list provide lookup and ordered enumeration.
- theme_init / theme_end are called from weechat_init / weechat_end.
The theme_applying flag is declared here but not yet consumed (it will
gate config_change_color in the next commit to avoid N redundant
window refreshes during /theme apply).
User theme files are not handled by this module: they are read
transiently inside /theme apply (a later commit) and never cached.
The relay authentication used non-constant-time comparisons (strcasecmp,
strcmp) to verify password hashes and plaintext passwords, allowing an
attacker to derive the expected hash byte-by-byte from response timing
and then authenticate without knowing the password.
- SHA/PBKDF2 hex hash comparisons: normalize the client-supplied hash to
uppercase and compare in constant time over the fixed expected length.
- Plaintext password comparison: HMAC-SHA256 both passwords with a fresh
per-call random key and compare the fixed-size MACs in constant time,
hiding both per-byte timing and the password length.
Add string_memcmp_constant_time helper in core, exposed via the plugin
API. Bump WEECHAT_PLUGIN_API_VERSION accordingly.
Bump the requirement to v1.8.0, which means we can remove ~70% of the
ifdef guard.
It was released over 8 years ago, with 3 new feature releases since
then and dozen of bugfix releases in the 1.8 branch.
The oldest distributions we target Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian Bullseye,
have 1.8.5 and 1.8.7 respectively.

This reverts commit e64ab3c675.
This was causing incorrect conversion of strings "0x..." to pointers on systems
like Solaris/illumos.
And as a side effect, buffers were sometimes empty in weechat relay clients
like glowing-bear.
Now the function utf8_next_char with an empty string returns NULL instead of
the next char, which is most of the time after an allocated buffer.
And the function utf8_char_size with an empty string now returns 0 instead of
1.
This indirectly fixes a buffer overflow in function eval_string_range_chars
when the input string is empty (for example when doing `/eval -n ${chars:}`).
