The update simply updates each nation's nat_money as it goes. Works.
Except it doesn't update when it runs on behalf of budget. But it
still checks nat_money to determine whether the nation is solvent.
These checks are all broken. Leads to massive mispredictions when
you'd go broke or solvent during a real update.
Track money unconditionally in nat_budget[].money. Delay update of
nat_money until prod_nat(). Replace separate money[] by new
nat_budget[].start_money. Closes bug#235.
Remaining difference between budget and update in the update test:
* #1: budget mispredicts plane #100 gets built (to be fixed)
* #2: budget shows ship, plane and land unit maintenance when broke,
but update damages them instead (correct)
* #2: sector -14,0 converts, quadrupling its taxes (correct)
* #4 & #5: bank with dust and bars taken over by che (correct)
* #4: plague deaths (correct)

update.h is a convenience header to include headers commonly needed in
update code. The price for the convenience is superfluous recompiles.
Include necessary headers directly, and drop update.h

Don't use multiple calls of wu() to print a single line, because that
creates a separate telegram for each part. The read command normally
merges the telegrams, but if they are more than five seconds apart
(clock jumped somehow), we get a telegram header in the middle of a
line. Unlikely to happen, but clean it up anyway.
The misuse has always been there.

Code dealing with money mixes int and long pretty haphazardly.
Harmless, because practical amounts of money fit into int on any
machine capable of running the server. Clean up anyway.
Code dealing with counting people mixes int and long pretty
haphazardly. Harmless, because practical populations fit into int
easily on any machine capable of running the server. Clean up anyway.
Why upgrade? I'm not a lawyer, but here's my take on the differences
to version 2:
* Software patents: better protection against abuse of patents to
prevent users from exercising the rights under the GPL. I doubt
we'll get hit with a patent suit, but it's a good move just on
general principles.
* License compatibility: compatible with more free licenses, i.e. can
"steal" more free software for use in Empire. I don't expect to steal
much, but it's nice to have the option.
* Definition of "source code": modernization of some details for today's
networked world, to make it easier to distribute the software. Not
really relevant to us now, as we normally distribute full source code.
* Tivoization: this is about putting GPL-licensed software in hardware,
then make the hardware refuse to run modified software. "Neat" trick
to effectively deny its users their rights under the GPL. Abuse was
"pioneered" by TiVo (popular digital video recorders). GPLv3 forbids
it. Unlikely to become a problem for us.
* Internationalization: more careful wording, to harden the license
outside the US. The lawyers tell us it better be done that way.
* License violations: friendlier way to deal with license violations.
This has come out of past experience enforcing the GPL.
* Additional permissions: Probably not relevant to us.

Replacing getrel(NP, THEM), where NP is known to be getnatp(US), by
relations_with(US, THEM) makes a difference only when US equals THEM.
Replace in places where it's obvious that they're not equal.
Adds a few calls to getnatp() hidden in relations_with(). Keeping
that optimized isn't worth it.
(natstr): New member nat_access.
(cou_ca): New selector access.
(grant_btus, accrued_btus): New.
(prod_nat, init_nat): Use grant_btus(). BTUs are now made at the
update in addition to login, because that lets us get away with a
simple ETU stamp (nat_access).
(nat_cap): Replaced by grant_btus(), remove.

(except for econfig-spec.h, which is special). New header types.h to
help avoid inclusion cycles. Sort include directives. Remove some
superflous includes.

Type modifier 'l' was missing in many places, probably rendering the
server useless on 64-bit hosts.
(ef_flush, ef_write, ef_extend, lwpCreate, lwpDestroy): Use conversion
specifier 'p' to print pointers.
(check_market): Fix display of loan amount.
(doland): Fix unescaped '%' (undefined behavior).
(ldump, ndump, pdump, sdump): Don't use flag '0' with conversion
specifier 's' (undefined behavior).
(dump, ldump, lost, ndump, pdump, sdump, empth_create, update_sched):
Cast time_t and pthread_t to long for printing.
(lwpStackCheck, lwpStackCheckUsed, finish_sects): Insert cast to fix
argument type on all platforms.
(prod): Remove extra argument.
(perform_mission, airdamage, retreat_land1, lwpReschedule): Format
string missed arguments.

errors:
(s_p_etu, adj_update): Defined long, sometimes declared int. Kills
big endian machines where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). Change to
int.
(set_option, delete_option, optstrset, intset, floatset, doubleset,
longset, optionset, optiondel, worldxset): Change linkage to static.
effect. Replace calls by struct assignment where possible. Replace
clear buffer, copy string to buffer by strncpy(). Use assignment to
clear when that's clearer. Replace overlapping copy through bounce
buffer by memmove(). Replace rest by standard memset() and memcpy().
Also use sizeof() instead of literal array sizes for robustness, and
instead of symbolic array sizes for clarity.
