    Use buffered file I/O when writing drop files and overhaul PCBOARD.SYS

    ... and USERS.SYS file creation using new C++ type definitions in pcbdefs.hpp.

    This mostly fixes issue #366.

    Use PRIu64 for (newly) 64-bit user fields (credits, up/download bytes)

    Fixes recently-introduced crash when generating text drop files (e.g. XTRN.DAT, SFDOORS.DAT, DOOR.SYS, CHAIN.TXT) on Win32 (only) where a 'long int' is still just 32-bit.

    Log Message:
    CHAIN.TXT files need CRLF terminated lines

    This was a regression (to just LF-terminated lines), an accidental change (from "text" to "binary" file-open) in commit 07580ea7b1b6e.

    Log Message:
    Limit door.sys numeric values to 32767

    The DoorFrame door library will about with "Overflow Error" if it reads a door.sys file with lines 16 (calls), 42 (minute credits), or 52 (posted messages) with a value > 32767, the maximum positive value of a signed 16-bit integer. So cap these values in the door.sys file at that maximum. This does potentially break/limit doors that give minutes using the door.sys drop file, so use that "modify user data" option in SCFG with care.

    Electrosys initially reported this problem with the Lemonade! door game which was barfing on a line 42 value of 449632.

    Add line 8 (user's real name) to DOORFILE.SR (Solar Realms' drop file)

    Apparently this line was added at some point, not sure if it's actually used
    in any doors, but here it is anyway.

    We no longer use/require the USE_DOSEMU definition anywhere else, so
    this was just a miss when the DOSEMU patch was perm-enabled.

    Log Message:
    Add space after numeric value on second line of DOORFILE.SR

    This appears to work around a bug in BRE, FE, and TAL where they don't recognize the "1" (ANSI supported) unless there is at least one other
    character on the line following the decimal digit, resulting in the
    unnecessary prompting of the user:
    This game is much more enjoyable with ANSI graphics enabled.
    Do you want ANSI Graphics? (Y/n)

    As reported by "ben" in IRC.
