Alexander Barton b4c8e74ccb Use a default "IncludeDir" only when no config file was specified
No longer use a default built-in value for the "IncludeDir" directive
when a configuration file was explicitly specified on the command line
using "--config"/"-f": This way no default include directory is scanned
when a possibly non-default configuration file is used which
(intentionally) did not specify an "IncludeDir" directive.

With this patch you now can use "-f /dev/null" for checking all built-in
defaults, regardless of any local configuration files in the default
drop-in directory (which would have been read in until this change).

#
# This is a sample configuration file for the ngIRCd IRC daemon, which must
# be customized to the local preferences and needs.
#
# Comments are started with "#" or ";".
#
# A lot of configuration options in this file start with a ";". You have
# to remove the ";" in front of each variable to actually set a value!
# The disabled variables are shown with example values for completeness only
# and the daemon is using compiled-in default settings.
#
# Use "ngircd --configtest" (see manual page ngircd(8)) to validate that the
# server interprets the configuration file as expected!
#
# Please see ngircd.conf(5) for a complete list of configuration options
# and their descriptions.
#
[Global]
# The [Global] section of this file is used to define the main
# configuration of the server, like the server name and the ports
# on which the server should be listening.
# These settings depend on your personal preferences, so you should
# make sure that they correspond to your installation and setup!
# Server name in the IRC network, must contain at least one dot
# (".") and be unique in the IRC network. When not set, ngIRCd tries
# to deduce a valid IRC server name from the local host name.
;Name = irc.example.net

# ADMIN command. Not required by server but by RFC!
;AdminInfo1 = Description

# Info text of the server. This will be shown by WHOIS and
# LINKS requests for example. Set to the server software name and
# version by default.
;Info = Server Info Text
# Comma separated list of IP addresses on which the server should
# listen. Default values are:
# "0.0.0.0" or (if compiled with IPv6 support) "::,0.0.0.0"
# so the server listens on all IP addresses of the system by default.
;Listen = 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.1

# (Default: not set)
;Password = abc
# This tells ngIRCd to write its current process ID to a file.

[Limits]

# maximum nickname length!

# Maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1

# seconds, it will be disconnected by the server.

# authentication isn't possible.
# If this option is set, clients not sending a password are still
# allowed to connect: they won't become "identified" and keep the "~"
# character prepended to their supplied user name.
# Please note: To make some use of this behavior, it most probably
# isn't useful to enable "Ident", "PAM" and "PAMIsOptional" at the
# same time, because you wouldn't be able to distinguish between
# Ident'ified and PAM-authenticated users: both don't have a "~"
# character prepended to their respective user names!
;PAMIsOptional = no
# When PAM is enabled, this value determines the used PAM
# configuration.
# This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd instances with

# Server Groups:
# The ngIRCd allows "server groups": You can assign an "ID" to every
# server with which you want this ngIRCd to link. If a server of a
# group won't answer, the ngIRCd tries to connect to the next server
# in the given group. But the ngircd never tries to connect to two
# servers with the same group ID.

# Set the "Passive" option to "yes" if you don't want this ngIRCd to
