Bugfixes:
- Fix: Watched Locations system (never worked in 1.13)

- allow RED flanking for CLOSEPATROL soldiers when at night, overcrowded or no other flanking soldiers yet
Optional AI improvements:
AI_EXTRA_SUPPRESSION

Fix: Due to unknown circumstances, a GROUP's waypoints can be corrupted. This will cause incorrect movement and can crash the game. As we have no way of knowing where the group was supposed to move, we instead delete the waypoints and stop moving.
This does NOT fix the initial corruption of waypoints. That is a very troubling error that should be fixed ASAP!

- If MILITIA_USE_SECTOR_EQUIPMENT is TRUE and you assign a merc to the 'MOVE ITEM' assignment, you can select wether gear that the militia can use should be ignored.
- To prevent confusion, 'MOVE ITEM' has been renamed 'GETITEM'.

- performing suspicious activities renders a spy easily identifiable for a short time (realtime) or until he ha spend enough AP (turnbased). This should make exploiting disguises harder.
- if a spy is closer than COVERT_ELITES_UNCOVER_RADIUS to an elite or officer, they can uncover the spy, depending on uniform worn an experience levels.

- Fix: morale event was not handled
- Fix: DropDowns did not refresh when using the arrow buttons

- increased background-based chance to steal to 50%, money/gold/solver will be preferred targets
- lowered exp stat gain for handling tripwire
- new background ability: disarm_trap alters effectivity at defusing bombs
- Fix: incorrectly deleted soldiers could still be counted as jamming/scanning

o See: builddefines.h: #define USE_HIGHSPEED_GAMELOOP_TIMER
o Gamers reported on the Bears Pit, that an executable compiled WITH the highspeed timer enabled makes the game unplayable slow in mapscreen mode when doing certain actions (repair, ...). That is the reason, why I made the compilation of the highspeed timer optional. Currently it is disabled.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5355 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
o This JA2 demo executable is as close as possible to the original JA2 demo, but with the 1.13 features!
--> No laptop, disabled strategy actions, auto merc hired, only P1 maps, ...
o To build the 1.13 executable, just enable the "JA113DEMO" define in builddefines.h
o The 1.13 demo executable will read from ja2_Demo.ini instead of ja2.ini
o You also need the "Data-JA2Demo" folder from the official 1.13 SVN GameDir: https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2_v1.13_data/GameDir
o Once you start the game with the demo executable, you will notice the "START DEMO" instead of "START NEW GAME" in the main menu
o Multiplayer is disabled in the demo executable
- There is another new define called "JA113NODEMO" (by Jazz)
o See builddefines.h
o If this define is enabled, a special version of 1.13 is build
-> Disable all meanwhiles, emails, blocked quest with queen, alien queen

- Rework/Update: Ammo boxes and Ammo crates
o Ammo crate items added for remaining calibers. Tweaked prices to correspond to magazines, tweaked capacities and weights to be reasonable (~800 or less).
o Shift-R reload now looks at both boxes and crates in sector items and merc's inventory to reload, and tops off magazines in inventory as well. Only possible outside of combat.
o Ctrl-Shift-A still creates crates as per usual, with some fixes to ensure all ammo is caught on the first press.
o Shift-A now creates ammo boxes in the same loop. They mostly behave like crates, but fit in mercs inventories.
o Ammo boxes are available to purchase at BR and tony, sam, etc. Individual magazines/drums/etc are no longer available.
o Removed ammo crate xml tag. Added ubMagType tag to Magazines array. This allows us to differentiate between magazines, bullets, boxes and crates.
o Changed ammo filtering in BR's to display boxes appropriately. Added back the "Mag:" display (changed text to "Size:")
o Added ja2set.dat.xml file (WF map version in WF maps folder) to be used instead of ja2set.dat file (ja2.ini setting added) For now, if you want to play vanilla instead, just change the setting in the ini (see comments in file).
o Added P4-P9Items image files (up to 5k images each) and tileslots. 1.13 core items will continue to use Guns and P1-P3Items for the foreseeable future. P4-P9 can be used by customizers/modders to avoid conflicts with Guns/P1-P3 items. TODO: Need to discuss a strategy for this in the forums.
o Added in Ambient/0.bad and 32.bad to avoid an exception in the code.
o Updated the XML Editor
o Standardized the text on all the ammo items.
- New Multiplayer Feature: Sharing same FOV (field of view) in a coop/team-dm (for friendly teams) game
o You will also see enemies, that your teammate sees
