[Freeciv-Dev] [patch] server output handling cleanup

[Per Mathisen <permath@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch cleans up output handling in the server and wraps all
occurences of printf, puts, fflush and show_prompt into console_*
functions. This additional layer of abstraction...
        o fixes the annoying scrolling-prompt buglet
        o makes the code easier to modify
        o adds a new undocumented feature, "RFC style", which makes it
          far easier to control the server from, say, a GUI frontend
The "RFC style" can be triggered by issuing the "rfcstyle" command in 
the server, and it will prefix all output by a three-digit status number.
This way a program/script controlling civserver does not need to rely
on strings (which may be internationalised) to determine success/failure
of commands.

For some reason, cvs refused to add server/console.c and server/console.h
to the diff, so they are included separatedly. The diff is against cvs
current.

Let me know what you think.
