    Log Message:
    By default, export MD5 digest of real name associated with an avatar

    This enables Avatar displays on real-name-only networks without leaking
    real names into the SYNCDATA sub.

    If the -realnames option is used, the unobscured full real names are
    exported (as before).

    If the (new) -aliasonly option is used, even the MD5 digest of users'
    real names is left out.

    Increase white-space tolerance when importing avatars from msgbase

    TARDIS (Quarkware BBS, the Ruby BBS), uses just \n for QWK message
    line deliniation, but we were expected \r\n terminated lines here.
    Also, apparently there was trailing white-space on the "json-end"
    line, so handle that case too.

    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.
