    Add ability to change MailBase storage method from self-packing to fast alloc

    This option has been built into the Synchronet runtime for 30+ years or so, but there was never a configuration menu provided to sysops to enable it. 99.9%
    of sysops want a "self-packing" mail base, but any sysop that has recurring issues with mailbase corruption (Josh Renaud?) might want to try "fast allocation" as an option - though they will need to periodically pack the mail base to save disk space.

    SMB Fast allocation storage is backwards compatible with self-packing, so a sysop can switch between the two storage methods without a problem.
