      Updates to user hostmasking (PR #175)
-     Added new config.h option: USER_HOSTMASKING_FALLBACK_TO_IP. This is used to hostmask using the user's IP address if we are unable to hostmask using their hostname. This usually happens if they're using a domain name without a lot of labels: somehost.com or company.co.uk or similar. (PR #175)
      Do not attempt to mask the Staff_Address for opers. (PR #175)
      Do not allow opers who are already hostmasked to set +H as this results in weird /whois results. (PR #175)
      Added new config.h option: NO_UMODE_H_FLOOD. Do not allow the user to change user mode H too often, to prevent WATCH flooding. (PR #175)
