    Fix "executing xtrn" node_activity() for multiple-concurrent logons (Guests)

    The name of the external program was pulled from the user record which in this case would always be the last program executed by (any) Guest. Instead, use
    the (slightly more ambiguous) node.aux field for external program being executed by Guest users or upon any failure to read the user record.

    Log Message:
    Reject future birthdates in birthdate_is_valid()

    The validator had a lower bound (1900) but no upper bound, so a birthdate
    such as 09/11/2890 was accepted at new-user registration and stored,
    and getage() then reported a negative age (-864).

    A birthdate later than today is now invalid. Every entry path that
    validates (new-user and profile prompts via system.check_birthdate())
    rejects it, and getage() returns 0 for any such record already stored.

    Fixes #1277
