    FILE_ @-code changes/additions

    New:
    - FILE_COST, file's credit value or "FREE" when applicable
    (see also FILE_CREDITS - the file's credit value or 0 when free download)
    - FILE_AUTHOR - file's author (e.g. from SAUCE record) or blank if N/A
    - FILE_GROUP - file's author group (e.g. from SAUCE record) or blank if N/A
    - FILE_BYTES - file's size in bytes (previously, would use FILE_SIZE for this) - FILE_CRC32 - 8 hex digits or blank if N/A
    - FILE_MD5 - 32 hex digits or blank if N/A
    - FILE_SHA1 - 40 hex digits or blank if N/A
    - FILE_TIME_TO_DL - estimated time ("HH:MM:SS") to download file at current CPS

    Changed:
    FILE_SIZE is now the file size estimated in KB, MB, GB, etc., not the exact file size in bytes.

    FILE_* @-code fixes

    FILE_DESC didn't handle blank/no file description correctly

    The @-codes that need file size or date needed to call the proper filedat functions to get those values or else risk them being 0.

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/atcodes.cpp
    Log Message:
    Better parsing of invalid @-codes

    @-codes never start with a number (decimal digit)
    @-codes never contain any whitespace (including tabs, CR and LF).

    These 2 issues caused the stock batch file transfer menu for RIP terminals
    to display all messed-up.

    This RIP menu (text/menu/batchxfr.rip) contains @s and they triggered some stripping of text and expanding to a text.dat string (!).

    Renamed DAYBYTES to USEDCDT (amount of free credits used today)

    DAYBYTES is now an alias for BTODAY, since that more accurately reflects what PCB and WC used this code for, though WC4 Sysop Guide says it's in "K", we'll ignore that inconsistency (Wildcat! docs are wrong maybe?).

    Transfer stats @-codes using byte total estimates (e.g. "1.2M")

    BTODAY now expands to a byte estimate (DAYBYTES is still the exact byte count)

    New codes: UPB and DLB for total-uploaded-bytes and total-downloaded-bytes There are already existed other codes for kibibytes or exact bytes, but there were none for byte estimates that shorten larger numbers nicely.

    Here's an example of the various transfer stats related @-codes now:

    DTODAY: '1'
    BTODAY: '2.8K'
    KTODAY: '2'
    DAYBYTES: '2827'
    DLFILES: '615'

    The cast of user_available_credits() (uint64_t) to int64_t overflows
    only if credits exceed INT64_MAX (~9.2 quintillion). Not a real
    concern; SUPPRESS with explanation rather than a runtime clamp.

    Add PCBoard @-code aliases for existing codes (#940)

    Several PCBoard display @-codes already had Synchronet equivalents under different names. Add them as aliases so PCBoard-style files/messages work without modification:

    @CARRIER@ -> @CONN@
    @PROLTR@ -> @PROT@
    @PRODESC@ -> @PROTNAME@ / @PROTOCOL@
    @CONFNAME@ -> @CONF@
    @CURMSGNUM@-> @MSG_NUM@

    @QON@/@QOFF@ were already implemented in putmsg.cpp. The remaining missing PCBoard codes (@FILERATIO@, @HIGHMSGNUM@, @LOWMSGNUM@, @LMR@, @FIRSTU@) would be new value-codes, not aliases, and are left for a follow-up.

    Wildcat! display macros that already had Synchronet equivalents under a different name, added as aliases so Wildcat!-style files/messages work unmodified:
