Retrieving the settings object for each and every option was wasteful
I don't like how we're doing custom formatting for optionMailbox in many
different places. This should be redone.
Before:
> * **`!pm help`** - Show this help message
> * **`!pm stop`** - Disable bridge for the room and clear all configuration
> * **`!pm mailbox`** - Get or set mailbox of the room
> * **`!pm owner`** - Get or set owner of the room
> * **`!pm nosender`** - Get or set `nosender` of the room (`true` - hide email sender; `false` - show email sender)
> * **`!pm nosubject`** - Get or set `nosubject` of the room (`true` - hide email subject; `false` - show email subject)
> * **`!pm nohtml`** - Get or set `nohtml` of the room (`true` - ignore HTML in email; `false` - parse HTML in emails)
> * **`!pm nothreads`** - Get or set `nothreads` of the room (`true` - ignore email threads; `false` - convert email threads into matrix threads)
> * **`!pm nofiles`** - Get or set `nofiles` of the room (`true` - ignore email attachments; `false` - upload email attachments
After:
> * **`!pm help`** - Show this help message
> * **`!pm stop`** - Disable bridge for the room and clear all configuration
> * **`!pm mailbox`** (currently `something@example.com`) - Get or set mailbox of the room
> * **`!pm owner`** (currently `@someone:example.com`) - Get or set owner of the room
> * **`!pm nosender`** (currently `false`) - Get or set `nosender` of the room (`true` - hide email sender; `false` - show email sender)
> * **`!pm nosubject`** (currently `true`) - Get or set `nosubject` of the room (`true` - hide email subject; `false` - show email subject)
> * **`!pm nohtml`** (currently `false`) - Get or set `nohtml` of the room (`true` - ignore HTML in email; `false` - parse HTML in emails)
> * **`!pm nothreads`** (currently `false`) - Get or set `nothreads` of the room (`true` - ignore email threads; `false` - convert email threads into matrix threads)
> * **`!pm nofiles`** (currently `false`) - Get or set `nofiles` of the room (`true` - ignore email attachments; `false` - upload email attachments)
Works around:
> utils/user_test.go:5:1: cognitive complexity 18 of func `TestRuleToRegex` is high (> 15) (gocognit)
Alternatively, we may look for a way to skip this test only.
It doesn't seem complex at all, so it looks like some false-positive.
This used to return an error back when it was dealing with wildcards
(which may or may not have compiled to a valid regex).
But it now deals with pre-compiled regexes and has no chance of failing,
so we need no `error` returns.
This does not do anything useful just yet.
It will be hooked to access control checks later on.
Wildcards are converted to regular expressions, because it was simpler
to do that than to write (or include) some ugly wildcard matcher library.
It also provides more flexibility, should we wish to use it later.
Regular expressions should also work well performance-wise.
We compile wildcards to regexes early on (during configuration
processing) and fail if we detect a bad pattern. This is meant to
catch various problems (typos or other mistakes) that could happen.
For this to work, configuration building had to be redone, since it can
now return an error. This may be useful in the future for validating
other configuration settings.

If tests (`make test`) fail, the file won't be removed and the git
working tree will appear dirty. Someone might accidentally commit this
`cover.out` file.
In various places, we build messages using `Sprintf` before passing them
to `Notice()`.
If we let `Notice()` do string formatting, we run the chance of having
it try to format our already-preformatted text. If our text includes
format references (e.g. `%s`), it would cause a problem (`%s(MISSING)`).
One way to trigger it is to change the bot prefix from `!pm` to `%pm`.
Doing so, `sendHelp()` would create some help message which contains
`%pm` references. `Notice()` would then try to process them as well,
leading to a bunch of `%!p(MISSING)m` in the final text.
It previously said "the following commands" were supported
and it was only listing subcommands (help, stop, ..)
without any indication of how the user should construct the full command
(`PREFIX SUB_COMMAND`).
For perfect clarity, we now list full commands in the help message. Example:
> The following commands are supported:
>
> - !pm help - Show this help message
> - !pm stop - Disable bridge for the room and clear all configuration
> - !pm mailbox - Get or set mailbox of the room
> - !pm owner - Get or set owner of the room
> - !pm nosender - Get or set nosender of the room (true - hide email sender; false - show email sender)
> - !pm nosubject - Get or set nosubject of the room (true - hide email subject; false - show email subject)
The new help message is prefix-aware, instead of hardcodign `!pm`.
If the bot is running with a custom prefix (not `!pm`), this is even
more helpful, as it lets people know what the prefix is. Reading
documentation elsewhere and seeing `!pm STUFF` will no longer confuse
anyone.
With this change, we also make use of the existing `Notice()` function,
so we don't need to duplicate some code related to sending notices.
