Add a size limit to packets and a configurable maximum character limit for messages

- Limits packets to under 16KB
- Adds a configurable option to config.ini for setting the maximum amount of characters in an IC/OOC message
- Limits the size of OOC names to 30 chars
   - The client already limits this, but this is an added precaution.
- Limits the length of shownames to 30 chars
- Implements shownames_allowed for areas, for toggling whether shownames are allowed for messages in that area
