    The simpler fix to issue #317 (nested DIZ files)

    By extracting with with_path=true, the file_list matching won't match the nested DIZ files.

    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.

    ... so first try to extract DIZ files from the root of the archive, then try again searching nested directories too. <sigh>

    Fix file list sorting by date, need to use the index not the header

    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.

    This is just extra paranoia now since the reading of file.ini enforces the value range
    8 <-> 65535 now.
