Don't use automatic supply to avoid starvation at the update

Browse source 
Food supply during update adds complexity to the update.  How much
good it does to players is highly doubtful; certainly nobody can rely
on it.  It isn't covered by the starvation command.  Starving ships or
land units can steal enough food from their sector to make it starve,
too.  Finally, the supply code is notoriously hard to use correctly.
We don't know of issues with the update's use, but we haven't
convinced ourselves that there aren't any either.

a) if the sector is a cap, it costs $1 per etu since
the last update
b) people in non-sanctuary sectors eat
1) If not enough is available, the sector
uses the supply routines to draw more.
2) If still not enough is available,
the excess people will starve off.
a) No more than 50% of the people
in a sect can die;
the uw's die first, then
the civs, then the mil.

c) if there was starvation, the work percentage is set
to 0, otherwise the work rate rises by
8+(1-15), max of 100
