Added a new 'contrib' folder for optional code snippets not suitable for the server core. Added contrib/menusystem for implementing a multi-choice menu system. Added contrib/lineeditor - a powerful line editor with commands mimicking VI. Also added an example NPC class using the menu system to allow for a conversation. As part of creating these contributions, lots of bugs were found and fixed. A new and more powerful cmdparser was intruduced as a result - this one is much easier to understand than the old one, while being more efficient and versatile. All testsuites were updated. Also: Resolves issue 165.
