[Freeciv-Dev] server/diplomats.c patch - send player info to thief immediately (PR#834)

[michaelz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Michael Zinn)]

Immediately do a send_player_info after a succesful tech theft;

  - previously, if a player looked at her/his science report right after a 
    theft, outdated infromation would be shown

  - if the tech stolen was the one being researched just now, the science
    report pops up so that a new field can be chosen.


In some sense it might be nicer for this to go in 
server/plrhand.c found_new_tech( ... ) rather than 
server/diplomats.c diplomat_get-tech( ... ), since that seems the most central
place for this update (at least for techs) to occur; however, the detraction is,
I suppose, that doing so could be a little messy if a player gets multiple
techs at once (first to philosopy, completing Darwin's Voyage, or just an
impressive research rate).... civ / civ2 allowed the player to choose his
"field being researched" each time a tech was achieved in these "multiple
advance" situations, whereas freeciv currently isn't able to do so effectively,
since the server has no way that I can see of waiting for a reply to a message;
instead, of course, it just picks a field towards your long term goal itself,
and you only get the choose-a-field dialogue once, after the last tech you
learnt in this "flood". Just something to think about...

This patch should be fine to go in the 1.11.6 as well ;-) (yay trivial patches)
