Note to BNLS users: Changed handling of incorrect auth password

The behavior for how BNLS handles account logins has been changed again.
Since the removal of the requirement of accounts, the behavior has been like this:
If the client sends a valid account name, but a wrong auth password, BNLS lets the client in (and registers an "anonymous" login).
Now, it has changed to:
If the client sends a valid account name, but a wrong auth password, BNLS disconnects the client. Login anonymously in a different way please.
One way to login anonymously is to simply not send BNLS_AUTHORIZE (0x0e), nor BNLS_AUTHORIZEPROOF (0x0f).
This behavior has changed to allow people who still own accounts to disable old bots by changing their auth password, as was possible before.

The documentation of BNLS_AUTHORIZEPROOF (0x0f) has been changed accordingly.
