This patch applies on 1.3.20 eggdrop version. Sometimes masters/friends are kicked by eggdrops. This patch tends to fix that. Moreover it adds a new channelmode : +dontkickops. And as the name suggests it, when a channel is set +dontkickops, then the eggdrop never kicks +o flag people. What's the purpose ? For instance, sometimes, chanops need to behave quickly. Imagine hundreds of clones entering the channel. Ops (the one with +o flag) have to be allowed to kick them. And the eggdrop has to let them do it (no KICK against "kick-flood" if channel is set +dontkickops). At least this is a point of view (also shared by other eggdrop botmasters). As I know some of you don't share this "philosophy", I added this new chanmode. This way you can choose either to activate it or not. Note that, even with +dontkickops mode set, kick-flood protection will still be effective against non-regular-ops (@) with no +o flags (for instance has-to-be-tested-new-ops).
