Added the @ban and @unban commands to the default command sets, allowing an admin to filter access from users without outright deleting their accounts. The ban list is stored in the database, but the checking is not hard-coded in the server/portal, but done in the normal login command(s), meaning it can be customized easily. Also contrib/menu_login has been updated to check for banned connections.
