* Acquire resources before daemonizing, fail in foreground
* Initialize threads and signals after daemonizing
* Make most file names relative to data directory
* emp_server and files make it their working directory
* emp_config() no longer screws up some file names
* Missing or incorrect econfig is now fatal
* Don't log to default log file when econfig changes it
from init_server() to start_server(), and service startup next to its
Unix equivalent disassoc(). This way, threading is always initialized
after daemonizing, which is simpler and more portable.
when it runs as daemon, because it relies on player_socket remaining
open across disassoc(). Change disassoc() to only close file
descriptors 0..2 instead of 0..9. By the way, it should really
redirect 0..2 to /dev/null instead.
(banfil, authfil, timestampfil): Make file names relative to DATADIR.
(main): emp_server and files change to the data directory. fairland
has to write newcap_script to the initial current directory, so it
keeps it and makes file names relative to DATADIR absolute.
(fixup_files): Nothing to do, remove. This fixes the following bug:
fixup_files() formed file names by appending ep->name instead of the
base name of ep->file to datadir. Thus, fixup_files() changed file
names even when datadir had the compiled-in value. When emp_config()
couldn't open econfig, it failed to call fixup_files(), and different
file names got used. Note that with this revision the file names
revert to the names used before fixup_files() was introduced. Closes
#1146080.
(print_config): Printing file names as comments is not really useful,
remove.
(otherfiles, ofiles): Unused, remove.
(emp_config, main): Previously, pconfig had to call emp_config() even
when it didn't want to read econfig, just to run fixup_files(). This
is no longer necessary. Simplify.
(emp_config): Use it when argument is NULL. This simplifies callers
except pconfig's main(), which now has to suppress reading the default
file. Also fix callers to check the return value. Previously, a typo
could easily start a grossly misconfigured program, with potentially
disastrous results.
player_accept() to player_init(). Acquiring resources during
initialization allows to exit unsuccessfully on errors. Previously,
the daemon detached itself (exiting successfully), then failed in the
background.
(player_socket): New.
The secondary command line processing was adding significant
complexity for minimial gain. Now all the command line arguments
can be prequalified during the installation of the service.
(service_main) [_WIN32]: Move the initialization (init_server())
so logerror() will go to the file instead of stderr.
(main,service_main,empth_exit) [_WIN32]: Add daemon flag.
Separate the debug_flag into two separate flags, one for
debugging (debug) and controlling the daemon processing
(daemon).
(main): Call loginit() later, after emp_config(). Previously, the
program logged to the default datadir until emp_config().
(init_server, start_sever): Split start_server() into initialization
and actual startup. Move initialization before disassoc().
(main, init_server): Log server startup only after initialization is
complete.
(init_nreport, update_main, start_server): Switch news to be sorted
list with all new news items added at the end of the list. The
removal of expired news items is done at update time. Closes#766755.

[_WIN32]: Switchback to default mode of text.
"t" (text) is not included the ISO/ANSI C standard but "b" (binary)
is included.
(nsc_cat) New category NSC_ID.
(nstr_comp): Resolve identifiers instead of relying on nstr_comp_val()
and nstr_coerce_val().
(valstr, nstr_coerce_val): Remove valstr member val_as_type.
(nstr_parse_val, nstr_match_ca, nstr_match_val, nstr_resolve_id)
(nstr_resolve_sel, nstr_mkselval): New.
(nstr_comp_val): Rewrite using the above.
flight path prompt now works.
(reco): Pass P_ESC to pln_arm() for consistency with call of pln_sel()
and similar code elsewhere. Believed not to make a difference.
is confusing.
(bigcity_dchr): Fix initializer for d_maxpop.
(dchr): The previous revision accidentally changed maximum population
of sanctuaries, plains, sea and wasteland. Revert the former two.
The latter are not used, but the new max population of zero makes more
sense, so keep it.
