Log Message:
docs: DROPFILE.INI draft 0.3

Changes since draft 0.2 (7022cd5556, suppliers-28-info, 2026-09-26):

- New host keys in [system]: SYS_HOSTNAME (public Internet host name),
  SYS_FTN_ADDR (primary FidoNet address, for inter-BBS games),
  SYS_LOCATION, SYS_OP_AVAILABLE (whether the sysop can be paged) and
  SYS_DATE_FORMAT (mdy, dmy or ymd). SYS_OP now allows any name the
  sysop is configured with, not only an alias.
- New user keys in [user]: USER_EMAIL (the user's address on the host),
  USER_NETMAIL (the user's forwarding address, Internet or FidoNet) and
  USER_PROTOCOL (how the caller connected: telnet, rlogin, ssh, raw,
  websocket or serial). USER_ROLE gains guest, so doors can avoid
  saving progress for a shared account. USER_HANDLE may be an amateur
  radio call sign.
- TERM_BACKSPACE (8 or 127, the byte the Backspace key sends) replaces
  TERM_SWAP_DELETE, which door authors had to decode.
- Phenom Dropfile, a JSON drop file for Mystic BBS, is cited as related
  prior art, and its author added to the reviewers.
