    If error is NULL, insure maxerrlen is 0.

    Hopefully this will eliminate the "Dereference after null check" warnings by Coverity (e.g. CID 330993).

    src/sbbs3/filedat.c
    Log Message:
    Sorted loadfiles() results were corrupted when detail was < normal

    When only reading the index (detail = file_detail_index), smb_getfile() just sets the file->name convenience pointer to point to the name in the index. Then when loadfiles() would sort the list, these pointers would not be adjusted (so they would point to the wrong names) resulting in a corrupted file list (e.g. name/size mismatches and no logical sort order).

    The solution is to call smb_getfile() on each file *after* the read index records have been sorted.

    This also means that the sort-by-name routines needed to always sort using the index name and not the convenience pointer (which is NULL in this case).

    While fixing this, I noticed there was no bounds checking in the loadfiles() and loadfilenames() read-loops, so if the indexes happened to be longer than the total_files value from the status header, a buffer under-alloc/overflow would occur and a likely crash as a result. So stop reading the index when the expected maximum number of index records have been read.

    loadfiles() will perform liberal filename matching when len > 12 chars

    As discovered while making the Synchronet v3.18b feature video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IWzIV0_sZ4), when only a shortened version of a long filename is displayed (e.g. due to 80 column terminal width limitations), trying to download that filename by specifying the filename at the Download File(s) Filespec [All Files]: prompt can be problematic.

    For example (as seen in the video), the file "SyncTERM-1.1-setup.exe" is displayed as "SyncTERM.exe" (on an 80-column terminal), yet trying to download "SyncTERM.exe" (or "syncterm.exe") using the 'D'ownload command would fail to find a file with that name (understandably, but frustratingly so).

    This change will transform the requested filename-to-load if it is at least 12 characters in length and contains no wildcards (* or ?), to include a filename extending wildcard: "filename.txt" will become "filename*.txt" and "longfilename" will become "longfilename*".

    For requested filespecs of NULL (all files) or specs containing wildcards or specs (filenames) less than 12 characters in length, no filespec transform takes place: so trying to list/download "a" doesn't match "apple.txt".

    It's actually a false positive because if an extension (".suffix") exists in filespec, it must also exist in newfilespec since it's a copy, but whatever. It's better form to check.

    create_archive() will skip directories in supplied file_list

    The file_list[] parameter was expected to contain only files, but the directory() function (used to create that file_list[]) returns a list of all directory entries, including sub-directories. I could (and maybe will) add an option to directory() to only include files or dirs, but this seemed the more direct fix for the problem reported by DesotoFireflite (VALHALLA):

    TickIT's nodelist_handler.js appears to be creating and leaving behind a sub-directory of the temp directory, triggering this error:
    1/23 11:36:56a QNET libarchive error -1 (13 opening c:\SBBS\temp\event\nodelist_handler/) creating c:\SBBS\data\VERT.REP

    Why isn't the temp directory fully cleaned up after/between events? That's another thing to look into.

    When loadfiles() calls sortfiles(), only the file's index records have been read in, so trying to sort on any header field won't work.

    This bug wasn't observable when sorting by date ascending, since that's the natural index order of the files already (order imported/added), only
    observed when sorting by date descending (newest at the top).

    Check max_files value in extract_files_from_archive() better

    Address issue reported by Nightfox via DOVE-Net:
    Today I was using the Archive class to extract exactly one file from a zip file, and I'm a little confused on the exception throwing behavior regarding the max_files parameter. When calling extract(), I gave it a filename pattern and expected exactly 1 file to be extracted, so I also gave a max_files argument as 1. It extracted the one file, but it threw an exception with the error "Error: maximum number of files (1) extracted (after extracting 1 item successfully)".

    Should that be an error condition to throw an exception? I expected 1 file to be extracted, and that file was extracted successfully. If I specify max_files as 2, then it doesn't throw an exception.
