[nos-bbs] Sending a welcome message when connecting to the RF port

[Langelaar]

The original JNOS had this define by default in config.h :

     #define WELCOMEUSERS

For some reason I had defaulted that to #undef in JNOS 2.0, since
to me it was just extraneous traffic that I saw no benefit to it being
displayed (it is not customizable, unless you manually edit the code
in mailbox.c and change it from Welcome <user> to what you want).

I can come up with a new one for ax25 if you like, just let me know
what you want (show me a sample sequence or something). OR
perhaps the WELCOMEUSERS will do the trick for you.
