Fix mishandling of weapon/shield/armour restriction.

Speed and SpeedLeft fixes, merged from trunk.

Implement feature request #1560416: give warning when spell is about to expire

Implement feature request #1528522: Initial items should be applied/worn.

Update player's view when turning on/off a lamp.

Add a help file for the 'maps command

Fix bug #1695764: Charm monsters - shared experience broken.

Add blue and green dragon scales.

Fix bug #1713112: rabies infects audience of the arena.

Fix bug #1713140: sustenance overflow.

Add party rejoin at login. New command 'party_rejoin' to control the behaviour.

Fix bug #1730874: +dam on bracers not working.

Fix crash at login if player is set to rejoin party, and that party does not exist - shouldn't try to use partyname from null structure.

Don't say '(pk)' if duel, makes it easier to check for real pk.
