125 - update los if blocksview-objects are inserted in a map, not just when

150 - revamped, fixed and documented the server calendrics, also
151 tell users the current time and data, to improve awareness.
152 - implement proper wizlook flag and handling of wizlook, instead
153 of dumbly just clearing los once.
154 - speed up los code - it's now about 2-3 times as fast as the old one,
155 and has a smaller runtime variance.
156 - daylight/nightfall can now increase/decrease past the natural limit,
157 making them actually useful.
158 - see_in_dark now increases the viewing radius by 3.
159 - implement a fast tiled map iterator and use it in LOS for a 20%
160 speedup, as well as in many other places.

162 by the deliantra client and removing them gives us a 10% speedup
163 when sending map changes.

165 as now obsolete protocol versions, simplying the code.
