    Add option to control whether area-linked nodes must be configured

    This should address issue # 261.
    Before April 19, 2016, area-linked nodes were required to be listed as nodes in sbbsecho.ini:
    http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/src/sbbs3/sbbsecho.c?revision=3.6&view=markup
    I'm not sure why the change was made to only require that there be a wildmatch for each area-linked node. So just make it a configuration option. <shrug>

    Also removed the trailing "..." for every top level menu item in echocfg.

    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).
