  Log Message:
  -----------
  Show metadata in OVERVIEW.FMT to NNTPv2 clients

slrn 1.0.3 fails to parse ":bytes" and ":lines" in LIST OVERVIEW.FMT
responses, with the error:

OVERVIEW.FMT not RFC 2980 compliant -- XOVER support disabled.

These metadata items will now be shown only if the news reader has
previously used CAPABILITIES in the session.  Otherwise, legacy
"Bytes:" and "Lines:" are shown.
