[Serusers] drop and brake in ser.cfg

[Ladislav Andel]

This is copied out of NEWS file in CVS:

-  drop /exit [n] now will end the script execution
   exit n will exit with code n (usefull in onreply/onsend routes where
   if script code !=0 a reply is generated/the message is sent or to force
   script errors)
