    select_shell() won't try to write to user base when useron.number == 0

    The same trick used in select_editor()

    Log Message:
    sbbs_t::select_editor() now returns true when quit/aborted by user

    and only returns false if there were no external editors available to the
    user.

    Desired behavior by newuser_info.js so we don't print the message "Sorry, no external editors are available to you" just because the user aborted.

    Log Message:
    Don' t log "Attempt to recursively execute" error for some modules

    Some loadable modules will fallback to internal functions if the module fails to execute - we track that with the optional 'invoked' parameter. Only log an error when exec_mod() is called recursively for the same module when the invoked parameter is null, otherwise just fail (return -1) silently so that the calling function can revert to built-in functions. It should be obvious that's what is happening since the built-in functionality would execute and no
    (e.g. debug-level) log message should be needed.

    Fix the bbs.select_shell() and select_editor() ARS checking/application

    Commit 9d7ada16df7e9f didn't really work because the user pointer we get
    from the User private data doesn't necessarily match the sbbs_t::useron, though it is the same user (the way user_settings.js works today).

    So users were seeing *all* editors and command shells when selecting from user_settings.js, even those they weren't supposed to have access to per ARS.
