#110: innd and nnrpd do not advertise IHAVE for the entire session

Component: general | Version: 2.5.0

According to RFC 3977, section 3.4.1:
Except as an effect of the MODE READER command (Section 5.3) on a
mode-switching server, once a server advertises either or both of the
IHAVE or READER capabilities, it MUST continue to advertise them for the
entire session.
If IHAVE has been advertised, it will not necessarily be advertised for
the entire session. innd and nnrpd only advertise the IHAVE capability
when it is really available.
Impact: Probably none. It is sort of a weird edge case, since having
such basic commands disappear after authentication is a little odd and
would require an unusual configuration. It is probably not worth fixing.
Besides, such a fix seems to partly defeat the point of the capability
system.
