The switch to the meson build system broke plugins on macOS. GNU libtool
builds shared libraries with ".dylib" and shared modules (plugins) with
the extension ".so", but meson is using ".dylib" for both.
Although overriding the name_suffix for shared_module() in meson is
possible, this would be messy for other platforms as there is no way to
query the default. Therefore it seems like we have to go with ".dylib"
for now on macOS.
However, G_MODULE_SUFFIX is defined to ".so", because glib follows what
GNU libtool does. Therefore define a separate preprocessor macro that
has the correct extension.

This change adds an option `irc_reconnect_rejoin` (default ON)
which when turned OFF will prevent hexchat from rejoining channels
after an auto reconnect.

Cutting off all text after \001 can result in users hiding text
so lets only bother handling it if it is a valid CTCP message
(starting and ending with \001).
If n becomes 0 at the same time that the end of either s1 or s2 are
reached, the next iteration of the while loop wouldn't happen, so we
wouldn't correctly return 0.
rfc_casecmp was broken because reaching terminator for str1 was used as
a terminal condition and str2 may be shorter than str1, resulting in an
oob read condition for str2.
rfc_ncasecmp was broken because it checked if n characters were checked
or if BOTH pointers reached their terminator, however the strings may
be different lengths and also less than n characters in length, meaning
that they don't both reach their terminators at the same time,
resulting in an oob read condition.
If ptr[0] is NULL, then strchr may return a pointer to the NULL
terminator for serv->nick_prefixes, making the if statement true, which
then leads to the pointer increment leaving ptr oob. Now we check to
ensure ptr[0] != NULL.
From the Linux manpages for strchr:
The terminating null byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is
specified as '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.
Quick rundown of benefits:
- Much faster:
- Autotools (with autogen): 22 seconds
- Meson: 7 seconds
- Meson (with ccache): 2 seconds
- Simpler:
- ~1000 lines smaller
- Single simple language
- Potentially better Windows (Visual Studio) support
What is not done:
- Complete Windows support
- OSX support (easy)

This could possibly cause a crash.
On a related note exec_data() and exec_handle_colors() could probably
use a pass cleaning up to ensure they "do the right thing".
- Combine the three properties into a single one
- Finally fully fix the handling with plugins handling events
TODO: Look into lastact handling of these, seems wrong
