zio fork 1.8.2b-zio17: no startup version check or banner

Removes upstream's PluginInfo: CheckVersion, which fetched upstream's
VERSION from GitHub on every load, and ShowAd, the console banner with
two encoded lines of personal messages. EnableUpdateCheck stays in the
config so existing files load, and does nothing.

+```bash
+css_history <#userid or name or steamid64> [bans|gags|mutes|silences|warns]
+```
+
+**Permission:** `@css/kick`
+
+**Shows:**
+- Bans, gags, mutes, silences and warns, newest first
+- Status (active, expired, unbanned, unmuted), duration and reason
+- Admin who issued it
+- Who lifted it, when and why, for unbans and unmutes
+
+**Notes:**
+- Accepts a SteamID64, so it works for players who are not online
+- The optional second argument narrows the list to one penalty type
+- Also available in the admin menu under Players > History
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+css_history #123
+css_history PlayerName bans
+css_history 76561198012345678

-- Name is enforced even after reconnect

-- Player cannot change it
+- Name is enforced even after reconnect, map change and server restart
+- Stored in the database (`sa_renames`) and shared by every server using that database
+- Player cannot change it; `css_prename <player>` with no name removes the rename

   highest-immunity group, and who changed it) to `sa_rank_log`, the table simpleadmin-web creates
   and lists as the public promotions/demotions log. If the table is missing, it warns once in the
   log and the admin change goes ahead.
+- With `TimeMode` 0 (online time only), a gag, mute or silence given in game now ends when its
+  database row expires. Upstream matched the two by exact end time, which never matched for one
+  given in game (the database stores the time to the second), so it lasted until the player
+  reconnected. A penalty marked passed also stops applying at once, not on the next 61-second tick.
+- Targeting by part of a name: when several names contain it, one that is exactly it (any case)
+  is picked, and otherwise the reply lists the matches. `css_ungag`, `css_unmute` and
+  `css_unsilence` match online players by part of the name too (upstream needed the full name),
+  falling back to the offline search only when no one online matches.
+- No startup version check or banner: upstream's `PluginInfo` (`CheckVersion`, which asked upstream's
+  GitHub for its `VERSION` on every load, and `ShowAd`, the console banner with two encoded lines
+  of personal messages) is removed. `EnableUpdateCheck` stays in the config, so existing files
+  still load, and does nothing.
+
+Backported from upstream 1.9.0 (commit `530f603`), not marked `zio:`:
+
+- `css_unban` applies at once: the ban cache is updated straight away instead of on the next
+  61-second refresh, and `removeid` clears the engine ban when `UnlockedCommands` is on.
+- `css_prename` survives restarts: renames are stored in the new `sa_renames` table (migration
+  017) and re-applied on connect and name change. `css_rename` from a hidden admin renames again.
+- New `css_history <#userid|name|steamid64> [bans|gags|mutes|silences|warns]` (`@css/kick`), and
+  Players > History in the admin menu. Commands missing from an existing `Commands.json` are
+  registered under their default name.
+- Left out: upstream's admin-loading changes (ours differ, see `1.8.2b-zio11`), its `css_say`
+  change and its `css_penalties` fix.
