Changes:
Configuration rehashing is done when the SIGHUP signal is received. The $HOME environment variable is used. ListAvailMods, Clear/[Deny]SetVHost, the --no-color option, and the ClearAllChannelBuffers status command were added. Webadmin defaults were improved. Only one backup is now kept. The OnConfigLine() module hook now only works with GM:* lines. A connection now times out after two minutes. OnFinishedConfig() was removed. Webadmin skins now live in /usr/share/znc. The new simple_away module was added.
