Frontier is doing Frontier things again

With today's release Frontier has officially dropped development of 3.8 version of Elite Dangerous and renamed it to "Legacy mode" as a result a number of changes are made to Mecha:

• Horizons 3.8 and Horizons 4.0 are now referred to as Legacy (LEG) and Horizons (HOR) in mecha messages and command arguments.
• "LEG" and "HOR" are now supported as arguments in commands like !mode and !mymode for setting the game version.
• H3_SIGNAL and H4_SIGNAL are renamed to LEG_SIGNAL and HOR_SIGNAL respectively.
• The !horizons command is back and will now set a case to live Horizons mode (Previously Horizons 4.0)

Unrelated addition:

When responding privately to a channel command like !list Mecha will now use the new irc "channel context" feature. This means that in supporting IRC clients (currently only IRCCloud) the private message will show for you in the channel you used the command, not in a private window.
