4389: BT: Fix core exit if dirs of a shared multifile torrent are not writable

4385: EDK: Preserve untested servers (by pango)
4351: optimize ip blocking lists (by pango)
4376: EDK: Re-enable result_done (already downloaded) in search results (by zet)
4126: Improved log_file handling

* there is now a default log_file: mlnet.log, old downloads.ini is *not* updated
* its default log_file_size is 2MB, this is checked only on core start,
  if log_file is bigger it will be resetted
* logging will always be appended to log_file
* new command "clear_log" to reset log_file while the core is working
* new command "open_log" to reopen log after close_log
* removed command "log_file", same can be achieved through "set \ 
log_file <file>"

problem
  when downloading files from www.gruk.org and www.srv1000.com
* MLDonkey new recognizes links like ed2k://|serverlist|http://server/file.ext|/
* "servers" command now takes URLs
* if period in web_infos is zero the file is only loaded during core start
  (as requested by the owner of www.gruk.org)
* in all places where a filename or URL for a server.met can be used this
  file can also be compressed with gz/bz2/zip
* automatically replace old default server.met in web_infos
        ("server.met", 24,
            \ 
"http://ocbmaurice.dyndns.org/pl/slist.pl/server.met?download/server-best.met");
  with fake servers free list from gruk.org:
        ("server.met", 0, "http://www.gruk.org/server.met.gz");
* fixed bug which prevented loading Overnet contact.dat file in web_infos

4297: Create ini file backups on shutdown
Note: file_sources.ini is never saved, it makes no sense to keep this file.

New options:

* backup_options_format, default "tar.gz", "zip" can also be used

* backup_options_delay, default 0
How often (in hours) should a backup of the ini files be written into old_config.
A value of zero means that a backup is written only when the core shuts down.

* backup_options_generations, default 10
Define the total number of options archives in old_config.

Command save got two new parameters:
* "save all" saves options, sources and creates a ini file backup
* "save backup" speaks for itself;-)

4155: Let MLDonkey create its data in $HOME/.mldonkey

Usage instructions:
* if the core is started in a directory where downloads.ini exists
  this directory will be used, this is the same behaviour as before
* on Windows the current directory will always be used,
  this is consistent with eMule
* on other systems $HOME/.mldonkey will be created and used,
  this is consistent with eDonkey, aMule and Unix standards
* if variable MLDONKEY_DIR is used that directory has priority,
  to simulate the behaviour without this patch use:
    export MLDONKEY_DIR="." && ./mlnet

Other options are:
--enable-gui=newgui2 (use GTK2 GUI)
--enable-gui=newgui1 (use GTK1 newgui)
--enable-gui=oldgui  (use GTK1 oldgui)
Options like "--disable-newgui" or "--enable-gtk2" were removed.
