Summary: All settings should respect setters setting

Initial Comment:
This bug is present in the current version of srvx in
use on GameSurge. Some might say its a problem, issue,
or RFE, but I say its a bug because the current
behavior different from the documentation.

Basically, certain settings ignore (to some degree) the
"setters" setting with regards on who can set them.
This is any setting which is based on user level. For
instance, "enftopic." If enftopic is above the user who
is trying to !set, then the setter gets an access
denied message, even if their level is above the
"setters" setting.

For example, lets say user A is 500 and user B is 450.

Current behavior:

<A> !set setters 400
<A> !set enftopic 501
<B> !set givevoice 0
 -ChanServ- GiveVoice    0
<B> !set enftopic 450
-ChanServ- That setting is above your current level, so
you cannot change it.
<A> That's lame, only I can change EnfTopic.

Expected behavior:

<A> !set setters 400
<A> !set enftopic 501
<B> !set givevoice 0
 -ChanServ- GiveVoice    0
<B> !set enftopic 450
-ChanServ- EnfTopic    450

In summary, any user above the current "setters"
setting should be able to !set any setting, regardless
of the current value of that setting.

If the current implementation was done on purpose, it
should still be changed. Simply put, setters defines
who should and should not be able to change settings.
It is not the job of the individual setting to
determine this.
