Added new process-pool runner based on AMPoule (integrated into Evennia).
...
This allows e.g. utils.utils.run_async to offload long-running functions
to a completely different subprocess entirely, offering real parallelism.
Implementation is still experimental, notably not all objects can be
transferred safely across the wire; also there is no concept of
updating caches yet - so adding an object from the subprocess side
will not be known in the main thread yet (since caches cannot yet tell
the underlying database has changed).

Cleaned and updated the i18n strings for various server-core system. Removed i18n for all strings that are only visible on stdout or in logs. Still missing i18n on certain specific things such as model field help and attribute warnings. Updated Swedish translation to match.

loops over all objects in the database and updates the places were the old default was set. This will make it more intuitive to overload the default locations (which is the natural thing to do after all). After this update, just make sure to @reload your server once before editing your settings.py; this will store the old settings for you, so they change-detection can work subsequently.

Restructured the way typeclasses are loaded. This makes it possible to run at_init() hooks at initiation also for objects without any custom cases for character/players. at_init() hooks are called only when an object is initiated. This means that a room's at_init() hook is only called when someone looks or enters it or a script operates on it, for example, rest of the time these objects are dormant, most efficiently.

Added functionality to Attributes to store and update dicts and lists dynamically. One side effect of this is that dicts and tuples need to be stored as custom object types which means that e.g. isintance(obj.db.mylist) == type(list) will return False. In order to do checks like this, use src.utils.utils.inherits_from() instead. The Attribute system now also supports tuples. All other iterables except dicts, lists and tuples are stored and retrieved as lists, same as before.

This fixes issue 189.

Scripts and Exits updated. Fixed some deep issues with Scripts that caused object-based scripts to not properly shut down in some situations, as well as spawn multiple instances of themselves. I think this should resolve all "at_repeat doubling" issues reported. Due to optimizations in the typeclass cache loader in a previous update, the Exit cmdsets were not properly loaded (they were loaded at cache time, which now doesn't happen as often). So Exits instead rely on the new "at_cmdset_get" hook called by the cmdhandler. It allows dynamic modification of cmdsets just before they are accessed. Resolves issue173 (I hope). Resolves issue180. Resolves issue 181.

Added SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) support, inspired by patch by rcaskey (issue 79). The automatic certificate creation does not work well; so the system instead instructs and gives example on how to create your own using third-party tools. I can connect to the server using a twisted-client instance, but not that many regular mud clients seem to support SSL at all (and if they do I don't know to configure them ...)

Run Migrate. Implemented a full separation between Player and Character - Players (OOC entities) can now also hold cmdsets and execute commands. This means that "disconnecting" from a Character becomes possible, putting the Player in an "OOC" state outside the game. This overall makes the game much more stable since there used to be issues if the character was destroyed. Having an OOC set also avoids the previous problem of @puppeting into an object that didn't have any cmdset of its own - you couldn't get back out! A new default OOC-Cmdset handles commands available to a player while OOC. Commands in this set are applied with a low priority, allowing "IC" mode to give precedence if desired.
...
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.

Moved Connect screens (the text screen first seen when connecting) away from the database and into a module in gamesrc/world. This module allows for conveniently adding new connect screens on the fly. More than one screen in the given module will mean a random screen is used.
