Fix unauth operator escalation -> /exec RCE

In guest/no-DB mode (Mode A, no authentication) chat::login granted
operator status (rang 0) to anyone who logged in with the nick matching
chat.defaultop ('Snoop'). An operator can run /exec (mods/commands/
yc_exec.cpp) which does popen() on an attacker-controlled shell string,
i.e. unauth -> RCE, and /set to re-enable disabled commands.

Fix: gate the defaultop grant on p_user->get_is_reg(). In Mode A
is_reg is only ever set under #ifdef DATABASE (compiled out), so no
guest can become operator; the only set_status(0) path is now dead.
Registered defaultops still get op once DB auth (Mode B) is enabled.

Defense-in-depth (per independent review): also physically omit
mods/commands/yc_exec.so from the revival image so the popen RCE
primitive is absent, not merely unreachable.

Verified in a container: logging in as 'Snoop' no longer grants op
(/exec returns 'No such command', no command output); /time and normal
guest use still work. Builds clean. Independent fresh-context review:
APPROVE-WITH-NITS; the drop-yc_exec.so hardening was applied; blanking
chat.defaultop was deliberately skipped to preserve the Mode B
bootstrap-op path.
