Log Message:
Add codes: FFILES, FBYTES, FCOST, and FTIME, with new format parameters

Inspired by PCBoards's FFILES and FBYTES (see issue #940), these codes
report details of the user's current batch download queue. I completed the set
by adding FCOST and FTIME.

An important new feature introduced with these codes are new (optional)
byte-count and time-duration specific format parameters. e.g. while FBYTES
returns the total size of all files in the batch download queue in bytes,
FBYTES:K will return the total size in kibibytes. Similarly, FTIME will
return the estimated number of minutes to download the queue while FTIME:S
will return the estimated number of seconds.

There are currently 8 formats of time-durations and 5 formats of byte-count
representations. I suspect I'll be adjusting these and adding more before
finalizing and documenting on the wiki.

I plan to give more codes this treatment and remove many of the new duration
codes I recently added since this feature means we don't need a separate
uniquely-named code for each output format: it was a real pain to come up with
good or consistent, but short names, and manage them all.
