177 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
178 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
179 of dumbly just clearing los once.
180 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
181 and has a smaller runtime variance.
182 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
183 making them actually useful.

185 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
186 speedup, as well as in many other places.

191 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
