Pathfinding, part two

Written by: Garryn

Greetings.

I have implemented new additions to the yesterday's pathfinding code.

Firstly, the ability to PATH FIND to another player is now restricted to
mutual allies only, as the unrestricted version was causing too many
potential problems.

The second change is that I have implemented support for custom
landmarks. Each player can now define up to 25 personal landmarks, in
addition to the existing built-in ones, and use them in conjunction with
the PATH FIND and WALK TO commands.

To define a landmark, you need to move to the desired room, and then do
MEMORISE AS <name>. To forget a landmark, simply FORGET LANDMARK <name>.
You can see the list of your custom landmarks using LANDMARKS.

HELP LANDMARKS and HELP PATHFINDING will be updated in a couple of
minutes from this post.
