The auction-house bot account (ahouse) owns 9 mule characters that were
showing up in the armory alongside real players. One LIKE pattern could not
cover both it and RNDBOT%.
Replaces botAccountPattern with botAccountPatterns, a comma-separated list
of LIKE patterns, and builds the clause with Utils.botAccountFilter. An empty
list now disables the filter outright rather than emitting a clause that
matches nothing, so misconfiguration fails open instead of hiding everyone.
The stack default becomes "RNDBOT%,ahouse"; config.default.json keeps the
generic "RNDBOT%" so the fork stays upstreamable.
Verified against the live realm: 29 listed before, 20 after. The 9 excluded
are the ahouse mules.

Playerbots are ordinary accounts, not game masters, so hideGameMasters does
not touch them. On a realm running mod-playerbots that means the armory is
almost entirely bots: 1,377 characters listed, of which about 1,350 are bots.
Adds two options, hideBotAccounts (default true) and botAccountPattern
(default "RNDBOT%"), applied the same way the game master filter already
works: left join the accounts we do not want, then require the join to have
missed. A realm without bots matches nothing, so the default is harmless.
Applied in the search listing, guild rosters, and the character lookup, so a
bot's page 404s rather than rendering.
The pattern is spliced into join clauses the query builder emits as raw SQL,
so it cannot be a bound parameter. It comes from the operator's own config
rather than from a request, but Utils.quoteSqlString quotes it so a stray
apostrophe cannot produce a broken query.
