torpedoes instead of POGO. Screwed up when return torpedoes were
added in Chainsaw.

* Remove option TRADESHIPS. Deities can customize the ship table to
enable trade ships.
* Configuration table changes (builtin and custom):

never been used before. This could crash the server on some
systems in certain states. Broken in 4.3.17.

* New sector selector elev. It's set by fairland, but has no effect
on the game. It can be useful for deities to customize a world
created by fairland.

* Rewrite the client's code for reading server output during login.
The old code could write one byte beyond the end of the buffer
(theoretically a remote hole), got confused by long lines, and
population limit.
* neweff miscalculated work when the population limit exceeded 999.

* Maximum sector population is no longer hardcoded, and now covered
by xdump. Option RES_POP now affects mountains and plains as
well. From Ray Hyatt.
