    Log Message:
    .ini files need to be opened for read/write access when writing/updating

    This happened to work before commit d49134e6f7 since iniReadFile()
    didn't return false upon any read error, so File.iniSetAllObjects() didn't realize that the read of (any) existing file contents had failed (because the file was open write-only).

    This explains why the *.avatars.ini files were pretty much blank as of late
    and no networked message posters were having their avatars displayed.
    Reported by Codefenix (thank you).

    Add a print/log line to tell us how many avatars were parsed, just for extra traceability of this script and any potential failure cause.

    Work-around avatars.js line 271: TypeError: hdr is null

    with a null hdr check before use (corrupt msg base?)

    install() no longer overwrites existing keys/values in modopts.ini

    [newuser]
    avatar_file
    avatar_offset

    [logon]
    set_avatar

    So if any of these keys pre-exist, they won't be changed

    Log Message:
    Add an 'export_all' modopts option

    Normally, this module only exports avatars for users that have posted and are able to still post messages.

    For other networked-avatar use cases (e.g. chat), a sysop may want to export all of their users avatars to a message base (e.g. syncdata).
