ietf-nntp Section 12

[Russ Allbery]

I agree with Clive's proposed changes to this section.  I'd just like to
add one more to avoid future implementors getting stuck in the same
rathole that the AUTHINFO stuff did.

And add:

    A server MUST NOT send different response codes to basic NNTP commands
    documented here or commands documented in registered extensions in
    response to the availability or use of a private extension.
