The "prevent PyLink from wrecking my server's CPU" release.

Mostly bug fixes here, with a couple of scripts added (start-cpulimit.sh and kill.sh) added to assist running PyLink under the protection of CPUlimit. :)

New features

• relay: Block most duplicate modes from being relayed (#71)
• main: write a PID file to pylink.pid (f85fbd9)
• ts6: support +AOS charybdis extension modes, warning if the IRCd doesn't support them (146ab5e)

Fixes

• relay: quit users who aren't on any shared channels after KICK (71a3464)
• Use RFC1459 for case mapping on InspIRCd (01220b3)
• relay: Fix handling of local SAVE (e4da670) and KILL (a4da9b5) commands
• relay: fix nick collision loop on SAVE + when both tagged (i.e. _42XAAAAAA) and untagged (42XAAAAAA) versions of a UID nick exist (e354ada)
• relay: Fix command arguments of DELINK on home networks (c07cfb1)
• relay: SJOIN users once, and only once (#71, b681a67)
• main.Irc: catch OSError (bad file descriptor) errors and disconnect
• ts6: add QS as a required capability (69e16e5)
• ts6: fix JOIN handling and parse_as key handling in hooks (ddefd38)
• relay: only wait for irc.connected once per network (4d7d7ce)

Full diff: 0.2.2-dev...0.2.3-dev

The "please don't break again :( " release.

• Added WHOIS handling support for TS6 IRCds.
• ts6: fix handling of SID, CHGHOST, and SQUIT commands.
• Support noctcp (mode +C) on charybdis, and wallops (+w) in relay.
• Raised fallback ping frequency to 30

...And of course, lots and lots of bug fixes; I won't bother to list them all.

Full diff: 0.2.0-dev...0.2.2-dev

Many changes in this development release, including:

• New ts6 protocol module, for charybdis 3.x.
• relay: add nick collision handling via SAVE (#61).
• relay: trivial tasks like TOPIC, MODE, KICK and PART no longer spawn new clients for their senders, and are routed through the pseudoserver when applicable instead (e76d31d c0f8259).
• Irc: be safer against UnicodeDecodeError caused by socket.recv() cutoff, by decoding each individual line instead (06d17d5).
• relay: make the nick/net separator a per-network config option. (ad34f6c).
• relay: Use a whitelist when it comes to relaying modes (#54), and strip out bans that don't match nick!user@host syntax (#55).
• relay: Handle user mode changes (#64).
• Support different case mappings for nicknames (RFC1459 vs ASCII) (#75).
• inspircd: remove RSQUIT command handler (3494d4f).

And of course, many, many bug fixes! (relay should now work properly with more than 2 networks, for example...)

Full diff: 0.1.6-dev...0.2.0-dev

Bug fixes and improvements from 0.1.5-dev

• Irc.send: catch AttributeError when self.socket doesn't exist; i.e. when initial connection fails (b627513)
• Log output to log/pylink.log, along with console (#52, 61804b1 fbc2fbf)
• main/coreplugin: use log.exception() instead of traceback.print_exc(), so logs aren't only printed to screen (536366d)
• relay: don't relay messages sent to the PyLink client (688675d)
• relay: add a save command, and make rescheduling optional in exportDB() (c00da49)
• utils: add getHostmask() (1b09a00)
• various: Log command usage, exec usage, successful logins, and access denied errors in admin.py's commands (57e9bf6)

Full diff: 0.1.5-dev...0.1.6-dev

New features

• Hooks for CHGHOST, CHGIDENT, and CHGNAME (f9d8215 35f1c88)
• IrcUser: Implement user channel tracking via an IrcUser.channels attribute (d97fce8)
• Send PING to our uplink periodically, and quit if we don't get a response (#42, #57)
  • New server pingfreq option is introduced to set the time between PINGs.
• relay: Only spawn clients if they share a channel, and quit them when they leave all shared channels (cf32461)
• Support autoreconnecting to networks! A new autoconnect server setting is added to set autoconnect delay.
• New PYLINK_DISCONNECT hook to keep track of network disconnections (3f6f78b)
• relay: add a LINKED command (#65, bbcd70b)
• commands: add a HELP command (#8, 6508cb3 4553eda)

Bug fixes

• relay: don't spawn tagged clones for the internal PyLink client (40fd9e3)
• relay: don't send empty MODE commands if there are no supported modes left after filtering (2a586a6)
• protocol/inspircd: don't raise KeyError when removing channel from user fails (73c625a)
• relay: only join PyLink to channels & set topics if there's actually a relay on the network (49943a7)
• relay: fix the wrong modes being propagated to the wrong channels on LINK (#53, ccf7596)
• relay: fix "RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration" in handle_part (d30890c)
• relay: Only allow messaging users in common channels / channels that you're in (#62, 024ac16)

Misc. changes

• Move client/server spawning, hook calling, command handling, and KILL/KICK detection outside the protocol module (0aa2f98 fdea348)
• Fix fakeirc and tests for relay (#56, a51cfcb)

Removed features
