add a force-accept command, remove opers' silently overriding +g

[edk0]

it would be nice if we had to explicitly choose to override a user's wishes in this case.

elemental-ircd seems to have a /OACCEPT we could probably port; see https://github.com/Elemental-IRCd/elemental-ircd/blob/0e7f632f4dabbb2b2c13487c22d70eaf48f6c56e/extensions/m_oaccept.c and https://github.com/Elemental-IRCd/elemental-ircd/blob/0e7f632f4dabbb2b2c13487c22d70eaf48f6c56e/modules/core/m_message.c

Adding entries to a users ACCEPT list is even worse behavior than overriding +g in my opinion, because you'd be taking up entries in their list, which are already limited.

It probably would be more useful for there to be an oper-only user mode for overruling +g, or an oper-only FORCEMSG / FORCENOTICE This avoids overly complicating a number of existing applications, such as monitor bots that check CTCP VERSION to help detect malicious client connections, and opers warning users of inappropriate behavior.

fwiw, the /oaccept there uses a separate list

Cool, at least it's not filling up their accept lists, but that still doesn't address the problems with monitor bots, etc.

Seems like it would be easier to just integrate the override into the PRIVMSG/NOTICE syntax somehow, that way it's a single command, no additional data structures have to be added, and the overrides can be readily incorporated into monitor bots and scripts.

Something like: -> /msg USER :Hello (blocked) <- * USER is in +g mode (server-side ignore) and has been informed you've messaged them -> /msg =USER :Hello (message gets delivered to user)
