Screenreader config updates

Hey folks,

Based on some feedback we've received, I've made some changes to the way a few things are displayed when using the 'CONFIG SCREENREADER ON' setting to better support players using a screen reader.

Here's what changed for the config:
1) The STATUS command will now display a written version instead of a formatted graphical layout.
2) Likewise, the STATPACKS command will now display a written version.
3) Fishing will now show percentages instead of bars for the line, fish and distance status. This can also be turned on outside of screenreader mode with CONFIG FISHPERCENTS ON.
4) Added HP or HEALTH command to quickly see what your current health is.
5) Added MP or MANA command to quickly see what your current mana is.

If there's anything else you'd like to see that would increase the support of screen readers, drop me a message and I'll see if it's possible to do.

Penned by my hand on Closday, the 19th of Variach, in the year 458 MA.
