    Re-assign the dirnum and subnum fields after sorting dirs or subs

    The dirnum and subnum are used for the next/previous (left and right) arrow
    nav through sub-boards and directories. For message groups or file libs that are configured to auto-sort the sub-boards or directory list, when importing
    an unsorted list, the dirnum and subnum values would then be wrong after the qsort() at the end of the import thus making the left/right nav thing broken (jump to other groups/libs and such).

    This fixes that.

    Could I have fixed this by passing an index value to the next/prev_dirnum()
    and _subnum() functions and returning the next/previous index value instead of relying on the subnum/dirnum elemment to be correct? Maybe. <shrug>
    Do I like second guessing myself? Not really.

    Allow SCFG ciolib and uifc parameters to be read from ctrl/scfg.ini

    If a sysop wants to override the default user interface/console I/O library behavior of SCFG without using command-line arguments, they can create a ctrl/scfg.ini file with the following optional [section] keys:

    [uifc]
    mode (advanced uses, e.g. disabling mouse support)
    height (in lines)
    insert (keyboard insert mode, not overwrite)
    esc_delay (ESC-key delay)

    [ciolib]
    mode (advanced uses)
    scaling (fractional values, e.g. 1.5, supported)
    height (in pixels)
    width (in pixels)

    Command-line arguments take precedence over scfg.ini settings (if set).

    The scfg.ini file is read *before* parsing command-line args, so if a ctrl directory is specified on the command-line (e.g. rather than via environment variable), the scfg.ini file won't be read from that specified location but rather the default (/sbbs/ctrl) or the SBBSCTRL env var value.

    Another attempt to make Nelgin happy and close out issue #749, though no, this doesn't auto-save the current parameters (you'll have to create/edit the scfg.ini file by hand).
