Add support for 31-line DOOR.SYS file format (alternative to 52-line version)

Removed UTIDOOR.TXT file format: nobody uses this drop file format and we removed the UTI driver long ago, so this was just an artifact.

If you previously had an external program (door) configured in SCFG to use
the "GAP DOOR.SYS" file format, SBBS will create the same (52 line) format
as before (no change).

But for doors that have compatibilty issues with the 52-line DOOR.SYS file created by Synchronet (e.g. Thunder cat V3.30), a sysop can now choose "GAP (original)" for the drop file type and Synchronet will create a 31-line DOOR.SYS file instead.

I have Thunder Cat v3.30 installed on my BBS, and it runs with the 52-line DOOR.SYS. I updated Synchronet on my system and changed the option to the 31-line DOOR.SYS, but Thunder Cat didn't run. I haven't looked into the error yet, but I reverted back to the 52-line DOOR.SYS and it runs successfully. I'm running the door on dosemu2 on Linux, and I believe Rixter (who said he was seeing this issue) may be running Win32 - though for this issue, I wouldn't think that would make a difference.

Interesting. The problem that Rixter reported was with line 42 (Time credit, in minutes). So it's possible the user account(s) he tested with had banked minutes, but your user does not.

Bummer than the 31-line version doesn't work. That is surprising since that is the original length of the GAP DOOR.SYS file. I wonder if adding 21 blank lines would resolve that problem.

Log Message:
Add 21 extra blank lines to the end of the 31-line DOOR.SYS file

Some doors/door kits actually require all 52 lines, but since they
(may) have problems with the values we populate on those additional
21 lines, just write them as blank when a program is configured for
the GAP (original) 31 line DOOR.SYS drop file. I doubt (and hope)
that no programs will care if their are more lines than they expect.
