    Fix smb.subnum corruption in writemsg()

    Fix issue introduced 9 years ago that could cause a crash after replying to a post via email or netmail and then displaying the header of a poll message or a normal message with votes:

    writemsg() was changing the global smb.subnum and when writing an email or netmail, that subnum value is -1 (since it's not a sub-board) and then later show_msg() is using the smb.subnum as a index into scfg.sub[] when determining if the current user already voted on the message being displayed and then: bang, crash, fall down, go boom.

    Simply saving and restoring the smb.subnum when executing an external editor is all that was needed here. And this is the first use of the C++ "auto" keyword in Synchronet!

    Log Message:
    Bounds-check the buffer being written in msgeditor()

    Replace the suspicious strcpy/strcat's in msgeditor(), the built-in line editor, with bounds-enforced snprintf() calls.
    Also, properly define MAX_LINE_LEN to account for the trailing \r\n on each line. It appears we've been under allocating the total possible message buffer size (by 2 bytes per line) for a while now.
    These 2 changes together should fix issue #547: apparent heap corruption due
    to 'buf' overflow in msgeditor().
    Also added a line count check/cap-enforcement with logged error message if exceeded (should never happen).

    Also fixed in this commit: off-by-one when enforcing max message length in msgeditor().

    Also added checks that the 'cols' (used in MAX_LINE_LEN) are reasonable values (40+), 2 was below the threshold of what would be expected to work since
    there is logic that deducts 4 from cols, for example.

    When writing messages with a 'top' in raw-input-mode, don't add excessive CRLF

    If the top already ends in a blank line, no additional CRLF is warranted (between the 'top' and the raw-input message 'body').

    I discovered that sbbs_t::editfile() (exposed as JS console.editfile) just silently failed if it couldn't write to the destination file
    (e.g. permission denied by OS).
