Autotriggers

I'm adding a new feature to the game to help make things easier: autotracking.

Autotracking works to track things on yourself and your targets. For example, autotracking for mages now tracks elemental attunement and crystal charges. What else does it track? That's where the next round of classleads come into play. In this round you can suggest things that autotrack can track for different professions and skills. There are some limitations:
- Autotrack can only track things that could be manually tracked before. If you couldn't tell what affliction a person had before, autotrack won't tell you.
- Autotrack uses numbers for tracking. Things that can't easily be stored as a number don't work well currently.

How does autotrack work practically?
- GMCP data can be set each time something being tracked is updated.
- IF command to do conditional commands
- ECHO command to print out stored data

To give an example of how this can work, you can currently use the system to track your health and mana. The syntax is

- me{health}
- me{mana}
- me{healthp}
- me{manap}

You test this with the command

echo me{health}
"me{health}" is 745

You can also test the IF command

if me{healthp} > 90 then say yes else say no endif
You say, "Yes."

Note that if must be followed by then. Else can be used, and should be followed at the end by endif (endif only necessary if you nest ifs)
