	 * (abook entry) being added to a local channel and it may result in auto-permissions being granted.
	 *
	 * Friending in zot is accomplished by sending a refresh packet to a specific channel which indicates a
	 * permission change has been made by the sender which affects the target channel. The hub controlling
	 * the target channel does targetted discovery (a zot-finger request requesting permissions for the local
	 * channel). These are decoded here, and if necessary and abook structure (addressbook) is created to store
	 * the permissions assigned to this channel.
	 *
	 * Initially these abook structures are created with a 'pending' flag, so that no reverse permissions are
	 * implied until this is approved by the owner channel. A channel can also auto-populate permissions in
	 * return and send back a refresh packet of its own. This is used by forum and group communication channels
	 * so that friending and membership in the channel's "club" is automatic.
