Added a 'clear' argument to addcom as a shortcut to clearcom.
Changed addcom to now change the alias to a new one if giving the command on an already subscribed channel.
Added the exception in command handler so that giving the channel alias without argument gives an error instead
of sending None to the channel.

Added some more helper commands and changed a bit under the hood on those
previously committed for mapping irc/imc channels to each other.
There seems to be an issue with IMC2 users seeing an echo back to themselves when talking. Investigating.

This allows the Evennia server to launch a bot that pipes output from an IRC channel to an Evennia channel. IMC2 and IRC channels
mapped to the same channel will also see traffic from each other.
New fields in settings.py were added to setup the IRC bot.
Added new in-game commands '@imc2chan' and @irc2chan for mapping irc/imc channels to evennia channels; you don't have to
use the admin interface anymore.
This is a correction commit to add the correct text info; the irc bot was really added in r650.

GLOBAL_STATE_TABLE.add_state() before adding commands to it. The state can now be much more configured by including as much or as
little of the normal default commands into it as wanted (so you can now have states which are almost as normal, except some
commands are missing or change their behaviour ... illness or darkness comes to mind). The possibilities here are limitless.
* States now also optionally allow traversing exits as well as using command tables defined on objects.
* States now better handle error messages (so if you try 'look' in a state which does not contain a look command you will no
longer get the 'Huh?' but will be told that the command is not available at the moment).
* All examples in commands/examples/ have been updated to use the new State system. Also added a @test_state function for trying out
the functionality.
* Added hooks at_before_move() and at_after_move(), useful for character based move-restrictions and checks (e.g. movement speed)
* Minor tweaks to the event system; avoiding the counters to go negative should they hit an uncaught traceback.
* Small fixes of typos and minor extra safety checks.
/Griatch
* The startup script (evennia.py) will now take your PYTHONPATH environmental variable into account when starting. This may resolve potential issues with Twisted on Windows with certain combinations of Python.
* The INSTALL file still referred to startup.bat, which is now gone in favor of evennia.py.
Thanks Ari!
- Set up a global cleaner event to clean all @destroyed objects every 30 minutes (makes their dbrefs available).
- Added the @recover command for recovering @destroyed objects up until the point that the cleaner runs and actually destroys them. This can recover @destroyed objects, rooms and exits to the same state as before @destroy. It could easily be made to recover player objects too, but I'm thinking this would be a security issue.
- Added to @dig in order to allow for creating rooms with a particular parent. Also auto-creates exits in each room if desired. The only things that is not implemented is the aliases of the exits, I don't really know how to do that.
- Changed the @create command format to match the @dig (it uses : to mark the parent instead of = now, since MUX' @dig reserve = to the exit list.)
- Added extra security in the example event to guard against the bug that causes the whole scheduler to freak out if the event_function() gives a traceback.
- Changed many instances of type to point to the defines_global.OTYPE instead of giving the integer explicitly.
