Upgrade prerequisites

New features

- Use salted passwords for improved security.
- Queue user's first N posts (default=1) for approval to prevent spam posts. Users that prefer the old behaviour may want to set this to 0.

- Add script to generate sitemaps (tell search engines what messages to index).
- Admins can now reset the forum's 'most online users' statistic.
- Add a 'Merge All Selected' button and a 'merge another' message (easier to bulk merge topics).

- Add external_fud_status() function to FUDAPI to update the forum's iSpy action list.
- Move NNTP tracker into the database and display it's value in the Newsgroup Manager.
