This is also part of my attempt to seperate real queries from the things
XChat treats like queries, but aren't.  I've got a local patch that adds
SESS_DCCCHAT and SESS_INTERNAL session types, and stops using SESS_QUERY
for everything that isn't a channel.

It's a rather big change, since it has to propogate down everywhere that
makes, reads, or updates a session or it's associated windows, but I've
been testing with it for a couple days now and have almost worked out
the kinks.  The ability to tell "special window called >>python<<" from "query
to user named python" is part of the query.

And no, Windows has no way to quote special characters like <>| in file
names, even 32-bit long file names.
