    Fix getnodedat() error handling and usage

    If a file descriptor is passed to getnodedat() and the lock retry counter was reached, the file would be closed, but the passed file descriptor reference would not be set to -1. This could result in exceptions (from subsequent read attempts on the referenced file descriptor) in cases where the node.dab could not be locked or read by getnodedat() and was thus closed.

    The set/get_node_* helper functions (used by MQTT) were not initializing the node.dab file descriptor (i.e. to -1), so it's possible getnodedat() could
    try to read from and close an invalid/wrong open file descriptor. If the local variable happened to be initialized to a value <= 0, then, no problem, but
    this is undefined behavior (UB).

    Extend (and back-off) the user.tab record lock attempts

    I'v been getting errors locking user.tab (for read) for a while (over samba), so hopefully this helps. The lockuserdat() total timeout duration extends from about 5 seconds to about 45 seconds (with an incremental back-off).

    Implement the same lock-retry logic/limit in putuserdat().

    Delete data/file/*.out directory for new user (if exists)

    emailfiles.js puts files here that the user requested to download "via email" and might not have been successfully delivered and deleted. So clean-up.

    Check return value of seekuserdat() in putuserdat() and return failure

    ... trying to get to bottom of user.tab corruption reported in issue #797.

    Also, don't need to seek in lockuserdat() since we always call seekuserdat() first.
