Server protocol:Hop count

The hop count of an entry (user or server) is the number of hops between you and said entry. So a local user would have a hop count of 0. A user on a server directly linked to you has a hop count of 1.
Hop counts are used in the UID, NICK and SID commands (and more). They are also displayed in the WHO client command (unless flat-map is enabled).
