Title: This replaces savebuff module.

By default, ZNC destroys channel buffers when users part channels even with KeepBuffer set to yes.
The current savebuff module is good only at saving channel buffers encrypted to stop users from reviewing it. This new savebuff module saves channel buffers and restores them when you join those channels again. This module also comes with ""useful"" commands and functions.

Using the curent savebuff is like burying a lot of money and forgetting where you hid it. Because it's encrypted, it's inconvenient to view the buffer with other programs than savebuff. This is not really useful for anyone.
Plus, encryption makes buffers unuseable when you change password.
Even emails are saved unencrypted in file systems, so I removed encryption.
Those who want safety may better use either file system encryption or fortify their security.
