Owner

Part of 0.8 (D-068), step 1.

What: "Hantera kanalen" gets the rules section:

Who can read: open / closed / secret, plus original, allow-anonymous, forbid-secret: set-conf-type (21). Going secret or closed asks first and says what changes for members and non-members.
Who can post: everyone, or members of a chosen channel/person: set-permitted-submitters (19).
Replies go to: set-super-conf (20) (the "superconference" for texts that can't be posted here).
Owner (organisatör): set-supervisor (18), with a warning that you may lose the right to change it back.
Housekeeping: how long posts are kept (set-garb-nice 22), kept while commented (set-keep-commented 105), expire (set-expire 97, experimental). Plain words, days.

Words: follows D-030 (modern by default, classic as a setting).

Merged (#370); main green (run #693). Verified: devserver test channel_rules (kind round-trips, who may post, parent channel, keeping, handing over after which the old owner is refused); manage-channel.spec covers closing with its confirmation, an unknown name, and handing over. set-expire left out (experimental in Protocol A).
