Death

Continuing with our theme of rewriting all the horrible and ugly that exists in our codebase, I've gone and completely rewritten all the code handling player death.

This is largely a backend change so you shouldn't notice too much different except maybe messages happening in a different order. That said, there have been some changes as follows:
- Fixed a bug with vampires losing full experience on starburst deaths.
- You'll no longer lose defences when dying in the arena.
- You can see deathsights if you're in the same room as the victim now (killer and victim still don't).
- Abilities like starburst/rebirth that bring you back to life now have their own unique deathsight message.
- There's now a GMCP message sent along with deathsight messages.

As usual, file a bug if anything is amiss.

Penned by my hand on the 6th of Variach, in the year 446 MA.
