Auctionhouse changes

Hey folks,
As mentioned in an earlier announce post, we're tweaking the auctionhouse to make it far easier to use for selling and buying the various promotional and other often traded items.

Notable changes:
* All fees have been removed. It's now completely free to use the auctionhouse for both buyer and seller.
* You can now use any of the auction commands from anywhere.
* You can now bid on auctions with unbound credits. Buyers must have the unbound credits on hand when bidding. The credits will be taken from you immediately upon bidding, and returned when outbid.
* You can now list buyout-only auctions. These cannot be bid upon, just bought out immediately.
* Improved search filters.

Here's a list of commands that have been changed (or added) in some way, along with information on their syntaxes and functions.

AUCTION SELL <item> FOR <x> DAYS STARTING <min bid> <GOLD/CREDITS> [BUYOUT <value>]
- ex1: auction sell item1234 for 300 days starting 10000 gold buyout 50000
- ex2: auction sell item1234 for 300 days starting 10 credits

AUCTION SELL <item> BUYOUT <value> <GOLD/CREDITS>
- ex: auction sell item1234 buyout 5 credits
- This command lets you list a buyout-only auction.
- Buyout-only auctions last until the auction is sold.

AUCTION PROBE <auction#>
- Probes the item being auctioned as if it was in your inventory.

AUCTION WARES [CREDITS/GOLD] [<search string>]
- ex1: to view all credit auctions: auction wares credits
- ex2: to view all auctions selling globes: auction wares globe
- ex3: combine both the above by doing: auction wares credits globe

Some shortcuts you can use:
AW is short for AUCTION WARES.
AWC is short for AUCTION WARES CREDITS
AWG is short for AUCTION WARES GOLD

You can view the full details on everything in the HELP AUCTIONHOUSE file.
