Fix smb.subnum corruption in writemsg()
Fix issue introduced 9 years ago that could cause a crash after replying to a post via email or netmail and then displaying the header of a poll message or a normal message with votes:

writemsg() was changing the global smb.subnum and when writing an email or netmail, that subnum value is -1 (since it's not a sub-board) and then later show_msg() is using the smb.subnum as a index into scfg.sub[] when determining if the current user already voted on the message being displayed and then: bang, crash, fall down, go boom.
Simply saving and restoring the smb.subnum when executing an external editor is all that was needed here. And this is the first use of the C++ "auto" keyword in Synchronet!
