Summary: Silently drop coach messages

Initial Comment:
It is possible for the coach to issue a say command
which fits inside the server length restrictions (8192
bytes), but when it is reformatted to send to the
players, it is too long. 

Why? The coach merely puts '(say' in front of the clang
while the player gets '(hear <time> online_coach_<side>'

AFAICT, the say message is then just silently dropped:
no message to the player and no error message to the
coach. The right thing is probably to put the "right"
length restriction on say messages as they come in from
the coach, and send the coach an error message if it
says something too long.
