Rename debug testenv to demo and use sample config
Switch the tox testenv name for invoking the daemon to demo, and
also switch it to implicitly using the default sample configuration
in etc/mudpy.yaml rather than explicitly using the daemon config
from the test fixtures. This makes it a little more friendly for
developers and/or first-time users who want to try things out since
`tox -e demo` will get them the log streaming to stdout and the
process bound to the invoking terminal where they can terminate it
with a simple sigint. For those who want to use a different
configuration, it can be passed with a command-line argument, like
`tox -e demo mudpy/tests/fixtures/test_daemon.yaml` (as an example
to replicate the old "debug" behavior).

Move commands into a separate command module
For ease of maintainability, move all the mudpy.misc.command_*()
functions into their own module accessible via mudpy.command.*()
instead. In order to accomplish this, User objects now carry a
universe attribute so that commands they call can identify the
correct universe object in which to act.
Alphabetize the command functions, update the corresponding function
calls in the command elements, add the new module to the API
documentation, and include it in the dynamic module reload list.

Support clients using CR+NUL to signal EOL
IETF RFC 854 requires that a Telnet server accept CR+NUL
interchangeably with CR+LF to indicate end of an input line from any
NVT (client). CR+NUL also happens to be the default behavior of
popular Telnet clients specifically when communicating on TCP port
23 (as opposed to non-default ports where more liberal protocol
fallbacks get employed). Previously these clients would need to `set
crlf` in their .telnetrc or at a telnet> command prompt as a
workaround.
Alter the selftest framework to send \r\0 from the NVT as an EOL to
make sure this does not regress, and add a test to explicitly end a
command with a \r\n just to make sure we can continue to support
CR+LF from clients.
