    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/userdat.c userdat.h
    Log Message:
    find_login_id() will now return 0 if login ID is an invalid user number

    If login by number is supported and a client attempts login with an invalid usernumber, don't log an error, e.g.
    mail 3264 SMTPS [46.148.x.x] !ERROR -2 getting data on user (6123)

    But rather treat it as an invalid login attempt.

    Also change lastuser() and total_users() to return int instead of uint. 2 billion users should be plenty.

    Add some helper functions for modifying node records in node.dab, atomically

    These should probably be moved (along with other node functions in this file) to nodedat.* some day.

    Add xtrn_is_running() function

    Helpful for easy determination if the specified external program is running (for a node) or not.

    Log Message:
    logoutuserdat() uses new function fputuserdat() to reduce open/lock/r/w ops

    Reduces from 4 to 1 the open/lock/read/write/close operatons of the userbase (user.tab) file upon user log-off.

    There's more places in sbbs where we do a lot of putuser* calls that could be (now) optimized in a similar fashion, but logoutuserdat() is called often (especially by the web, ftp, mail and services servers), so this one was obvious place to reduce contention on the userbase file.
