    Fix NDX file creation when votes are included in QWK packets

    When both Indexes (NDX files) and vote messages are included in a QWK packet (an unexpected, but valid combination), the "Record number" stored in NDX files for subs with votes would be incorrect as it did not increment when a vote message (with no body text) was added to the messages.dat file.

    Reported by user that was trying to use MultiMail to read a QWK packet that included both votes and indexes and "IgnoreNDX: No" in their .mmailrc file.

    Would a Sept 29th build be affected by this behaviour? I run 2 boards (one 'public'[alleycat] one 'private'[ephram]. On ephram (realm of dispair) I use a runemaster web ui variant (which does not support voting) and there are missing posts or posts not being displayed, or is this a multimail specific thing?

    It's a QWK offline reader specific thing.

    Better error handling in QWK packet creation

    If libarchive creates a 0-byte file or no file at all, then fall-through to the "temp file command-line" (if there is at least one Compressible File Type configured).

    If libarchive fails, there will still be a (hopefully helpful) error message logged, but at least the QWK packet may still get created.

    Add "MSGID" to QWK DOOR.ID file

    This is a "newer" QWK control message supported by Synchronet (for like 20 years now), so it's been missing from the DOOR.ID file all this time and no
    one noticed. <shrug>
