Usage: SET CTCP_REPLY_FLOOD_SIZE <size in bytes>
Used by the CTCP reply flood protection system. Setting
NO_CTCP_FLOOD to OFF disables the system entirely.

Each time you are requested to send more than
CTCP_REPLY_FLOOD_SIZE bytes in CTCP_REPLY_BACKLOG_SECONDS
no ctcp replies will be done for CTCP_REPLY_IGNORE_SECONDS.

Known good values are 256 bytes/ 5s/ 10s.

This is a sliding window, i.e. you can't get caught sending
too much because of a 5s boundary, and the checking is still
active even if you don't reply anymore, which avoids replying
again every 10s if you're under attack.

If your VERBOSE_CTCP is ON begins and ends of ignore periods
will be shown.
