    Log Message:
    Allow default packet type to be configurable

    Previously, any packets created for unlinked nodes, would always be Type-2 packets and the packet type for newly created nodes (in echocfg->Linked Nodes) would be Type-2+.

    The new DefaultPacketType setting default is 2+, so the only observed
    change in behavior will be that packets created for unlinked nodes will also
    be type 2+ (by default).

    Some additional log detail/adjustment around created/detected packet types.

    Replace almost all references to AreaFix with AreaMgr or AreaManager

    "AreaFix" is a proper product name. Though it's been defunct and unsupported for decades, we still should not confuse sysops and historians: the general term for what AreaFix did/does is Area Management, aka Conference Management.

    The sbbsecho.ini key names are unchanged and the destination netmail address for AreaManager requests can still be "AreaFix" (though "SBBSecho" is still supported as well).
