    Log Message:
    Remove unused/obsolete macros: MAX_SUBS, MAX_DIRS, and MAX_XTRNS (65534)

    The actual maximums are much higher than these values nowadays, in the 6 digits at least, maybe 7.

    Move the (new) color constants userlow, userhigh to to the end of the enum

    These values turn out to be significant for the (undocumented) console.color_list[], so might as well keep it backward compatible for when we do someday document it. :-)

    Use 1U for QHUB_NATIVE, the only bit-31 macro in sbbsdefs.h without it

    "1 << 31" shifts into the sign bit of an int, which is undefined
    behavior. It has worked everywhere we build because GCC and MSVC both
    yield INT_MIN and qhub_t.misc is uint32_t, so the conversion lands on 0x80000000 either way, but there is no reason to keep relying on that.
    UBSan flags it; -Wall -Wextra does not, which is why it went unnoticed
    when the bit moved to 31 in 0bc7b3297e (cleaning-19-wish, 2026-01-31).

    Every other bit-31 macro in this header already uses 1U: SM_SYSVDELM, XTRN_CONIO, CON_CR_CLREOL, MOUSE, SS_FASTLOGON and EX_CONIO.

    Value-preserving: both forms give 0x80000000 for the "misc ^=" in
    scfgnet.c and the "misc &" test in main.cpp, verified against each other,
    and both consumers plus msgtoqwk.cpp still compile clean.

    Identify the former occupant of user.misc bit 25

    Bit 25 was CTERM_FONTS, removed in 462ff72b05 (slot-13-task, 2019-07-12) because nothing read it. It was part of TERM_FLAGS, so terminal
    auto-detection set it, and it survives in user records created before
    that removal: 39 of 1457 on one system, every one of them first logging
    on in 2019 or earlier.

    Naming it makes the constraint checkable. The absent #define is what made
    the bit look available.
