    Modified Files:
    exec/login.js
    Log Message:
    Restore stealth legacy login prompt (NN:)

    This old prompt used to be sent for any login scripts (e.g. QWKnet
    via dial-up) that would key off that WWIV-like "name or number"
    (NN:) prompt, but was removed (accidentally?) in commit fedabb0b8f6dfcdc4.

    Send "NN: " and "PW: " (include the trailing space, just in case), and use carriage return to move back (and overwrite) rather than 4 backspaces.

    Modified Files:
    exec/login.js
    Log Message:
    The bare CR is treated as CRLF on PETSCII, so use Ctrl-A[ instead

    We don't do output translation for PETSCII terminals for CR or LF
    chars, so this trick is needed, at least currently, for the NN legacy prompt
    to be properly over-written/invisible for CBM/PETSCII terminals.

    Use the new (to v3.20) method of checking for login-by-usernumber support

    The old NM_NO_NUM flag is unused/deprecated.
