    Do rollover daily stats (dsts.ini) if the previous date was Jan-1-1970 (never)

    Basically revert commit 2064f3a4f71c6656693a1d24fc63004c3c41aaea

    In a new install, the "Date" value in dsts.ini will be 0/Never and thus would never be rolled over (e.g. stats moved o csts.tab files).

    Since getstats() now reliably detects any read failures, we shouldn't need
    this as a work-around any more anyway - if the "date" field is 0, it just
    means a new install and it's expected.

    This should fix the issue reported by Basis where the ctrl/csts.tab and node*/csts.tab files were never created in fresh install of v3.20. A work around is to just set the Date field in the ctrl/dsts.ini file to the current date (one time).

    Better error reporting in logonstats()

    Eastside75 (THUNDER) is reporting that their daily statistics (ctrl/dsts.ini) file is never "rolled-over" and there are only a couple of potential errors
    in this function that could "silently fail" if the current date/time or the "Date" value in the dsts.ini file could not be converted to a broken-down date/time. So if either of those errors happen, log an error. It's unknown
    what the cause of Eastside75's issue is, but I wanted to at least eliminate these 2 possible errors (failures in calls to localtime_r()) as potential causes.

    Also, cleaned up a little using new dates_are_same() function, etc.

    Log Message:
    A blank ReadYourMailNowQ text.dat string will not defeat the Unread mail prompt

    I sbbs_t::noyes() will return true if this string is blank, so we didn't need check here now anyway.

    Setting ReadYourMailNowQ in text.dat to an empty string means this prompt
    won't be shown and the read messages will *not* be shown during logon.

    Setting ReadYourUnreadMailNowQ in text.dat to an empty string means this
    prompt won't be shown and any unread messages *will* be shown during logon (automatically).
