    Log Message:
    bstrlen() handles more control chars (\b, \r, \n) and ^A[, ^A] and ^A/

    ^A/ isn't exact here since it really needs to compare against the output
    column (which could auto-wrap when long), not the counted display width, but it's more accurate than ignoring it.

    I tested it like this (from within the BBS):

    - console.strlen("testx\r\ntest1234")
    Result (number): 5

    - console.strlen("testx\rtest1234")
    Result (number): 8

    - console.strlen("testx\x01[test1234")
    Result (number): 8

    Previously, those would produce incorrect numbers like, e.g. 15, 14

    bstrlen() now supports (e.g. parses/ignores) extra attribute codes

    e.g. PCBoard, Wildcat, etc.

    Implement cleartoeol() in base (dumb) terminal implementation

    At the point that finduserstr(0, USER_IPADDR, client_ipaddr) is called from answer(), the terminal object is still the base/dumb terminal object, which
    did not have "clear to end of line" implemented, so the default SearchedForDupes string (which uses Ctrl-A> to clear to EOL) did not work. Another regression from the New Terminal Abstraction.

    This might be "off-by-one" and force a terminal wrap when writing to the last column, but I didn't observe that happen with SyncTERM.

    This fixes the "[ Searching for duplicates ... xxx% ]" text left on the screen before the login prompt when "Auto-login via IP" is enabled, as observed at
    http://themegabbs.ddns.net:2000/
