/* Set user properties according to the string "op". The following

 *
 * on           Enable the user: it is possible to authenticate as this user.
 * off          Disable the user: it's no longer possible to authenticate
 *              with this user, however the already authenticated connections
 *              will still work.
 * ><password>  Add this password to the list of valid password for the user.
 *              For example >mypass will add "mypass" to the list.
 *              This directive clears the "nopass" flag (see later).
 * #<hash>      Add this password hash to the list of valid hashes for
 *              the user. This is useful if you have previously computed
 *              the hash, and don't want to store it in plaintext.
 *              This directive clears the "nopass" flag (see later).
 * <<password>  Remove this password from the list of valid passwords.
 * !<hash>      Remove this hashed password from the list of valid passwords.
 *              This is useful when you want to remove a password just by
 *              hash without knowing its plaintext version at all.
 * nopass       All the set passwords of the user are removed, and the user
 *              is flagged as requiring no password: it means that every
 *              password will work against this user. If this directive is
 *              used for the default user, every new connection will be
 *              immediately authenticated with the default user without
 *              any explicit AUTH command required. Note that the "resetpass"
 *              directive will clear this condition.
 * resetpass    Flush the list of allowed passwords. Moreover removes the
 *              "nopass" status. After "resetpass" the user has no associated
 *              passwords and there is no way to authenticate without adding
 *              some password (or setting it as "nopass" later).
 * reset        Performs the following actions: resetpass, resetkeys, off,
 *              -@all. The user returns to the same state it has immediately
 *              after its creation.
 * (<options>)  Create a new selector with the options specified within the
 *              parentheses and attach it to the user. Each option should be
 *              space separated. The first character must be ( and the last
 *              character must be ).
 * clearselectors          Remove all of the currently attached selectors.
 *                         Note this does not change the "root" user permissions,
 *                         which are the permissions directly applied onto the
 *                         user (outside the parentheses).
 *
 * Selector options can also be specified by this function, in which case
 * they update the root selector for the user.
 *
 * The 'op' string must be null terminated. The 'oplen' argument should
 * specify the length of the 'op' string in case the caller requires to pass
 * binary data (for instance the >password form may use a binary password).
 * Otherwise the field can be set to -1 and the function will use strlen()
 * to determine the length.
 *
 * The function returns C_OK if the action to perform was understood because
 * the 'op' string made sense. Otherwise C_ERR is returned if the operation
 * is unknown or has some syntax error.
 *
 * When an error is returned, errno is set to the following values:
 *
 * EINVAL: The specified opcode is not understood or the key/channel pattern is
 *         invalid (contains non allowed characters).
 * ENOENT: The command name or command category provided with + or - is not
 *         known.
 * EEXIST: You are adding a key pattern after "*" was already added. This is
 *         almost surely an error on the user side.
 * EISDIR: You are adding a channel pattern after "*" was already added. This is
 *         almost surely an error on the user side.
 * ENODEV: The password you are trying to remove from the user does not exist.
 * EBADMSG: The hash you are trying to add is not a valid hash.
 * ECHILD: Attempt to allow a specific first argument of a subcommand
