    Log Message:
    Fix: initialize default data directories after auto-creating sub-dirs

    When a file library's "Access to Sub-directories" option was enabled, any auto-created directories would have their data dir initialized as "blank" (empty), so their data files (e.g. <code>.dat, <code>.ixb) would be created in the ctrl directory.

    I guess nobody used this feature? It is pretty cool, but not really documented. If you were using it before this commit, you'll need to move your sub-directories data files to data/dirs or re-add the files (recreate the database files). And you can remove the old cruft from the ctrl dir.

    Coincidentally, a few weeks ago I found that option and could not find
    any documentation for it.

    When you have some free time, can you add some documentation please?

    Thank you!

    load_cfg() calls free_cfg() before do_cryptInit() is called, so the ssl_rwlock was uninitialized here.

    Introduced in commit 48e7520e (when colors was converted from a byte array
    to a uint array), we weren't memsetting the right number of bytes.

    Since color is not an array of ints (not bytes), memset (of non-zero values) isn't really the right initialization approach anyway. Now using a for-loop.
