    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/main.cpp sbbs.h
    Log Message:
    Initialize sbbs_t member variables in class definition instead of ctor

    Remove the (now) unnecessary explicit initializations (e.g. to zero, blank, etc.) from the sbbs_t constructor.

    Log Message:
    Log the total amount of user and mail data backed-up daily (in bytes)

    This was done previous, file by file, at debug log level, in exact bytes.
    That detail is still logged, however the "DAILY: Backing-up ..." log messages are now debug (instead of info) level messages and the total number of bytes (estimated) is now logged at info-level after the backup has completed with "DAILY: Backed-up ..." messages.

    This allows easier tracking of the mail and user base growth over time through log analysis (if the sysop has auto-backups enabled).

    With possible use of "Fast Allocation" (instead of Self-packing) for the
    mail base, it is important that a sysop should be able to easily track the growth rate over time to determine the (necessary) packing interval.
