Changed initial look command (at login) to be called from at_post_login hook instead of from the default connect command, supposedly making it easier for those only wanting to change this one line rather than having to re-target connect. The player.at_post_login now also calls look in case no character is defined, for the cases when logging in without having a character selected. Resolves Issue 277.
