9001

gotta go slow

still supports python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3 through 3.10 (at least)

new features

new cmd /cy enables colored nicknames, goes really well with:
new cmd /mn disables newline-padding to fit more messages on-screen
new cmd /sy, avoids a rendering bug in telnet.exe by limiting the connection speed
- autodetected and applied during the config wizard
- all clients are throttled during the wizard stage since thats the only way to avoid glitching out telnet.exe sorry
new cmd /cfg shows the current client settings

charwidth calculation for doublewidth glyphs (moonrunes), caused rendering and scrolling issues
some client deadlocks
- ^e (alt-tab) after /parting a channel
- /fill as admin with invalid arguments
general clean-shutdown fixes
- avoid losing channel logs by flushing them properly
- other things that could technically crash but didn't really matter
disabling telnet/netcat by setting port=0 didn't actually disable it

regular linewrapping instead of unrag/aligned -- looks worse but is easier to read
use argparse "when available" (everywhere except python 2.6)
sfx prefers python3 (and ports 23/531 when running as root)
