    Log Message:
    Windows: build all 32-bit Synchronet hosts /LARGEADDRESSAWARE

    Mark sbbs.exe (sbbscon.vcxproj), sbbsNTsvcs.exe (ntsvcs.vcxproj),
    jsexec.exe (jsexec.vcxproj), and sbbsctrl.exe (ctrl/build.bat) as large-address-aware, raising their usable address space from 2GB to
    ~4GB on 64-bit Windows.

    This is a stopgap for GitLab #1185: an access violation in mozjs185
    seen only on 32-bit Windows under JS heap pressure (a web-scrape
    attack), never on Linux-x64. It raises the ceiling; it does not fix
    the underlying pointer corruption, which the SM128 / 64-bit migration
    addresses properly.

    The MSVC projects get <LargeAddressAware>true</LargeAddressAware> in
    both Debug|Win32 and Release|Win32 link steps. Borland's ilink32 has
    no LAA option, so build.bat flips the PE-header bit post-build
    instead.

    Validated: the 2006-era Borland host runs stably under LAA with
    system-wide top-down allocation (Synchronet DLLs executing above 2GB,
    all servers listening, no errors), and jsexec exercised the mozjs GC
    and trace-JIT with ~3.4GB live above 2GB without failure. Sustained
    behavior under real scrape load is not yet proven.
