Fast Focus Patch
----------------
REQUIRES:         freeciv-cvs-Dec-13
APPLIES TO:       all clients, server
CONTAINS:

Problem:
When clicking a unit, client requests from server that unit be in
focus and waits needlessly. Server wakes up unit if it was sentried
etc., or had an activity like Auto or Build Mine -- and then allows
client to focus it. Lag will only augment the poor player's annoyance.
The idea that server informs client of an airplane exhausted is also
unneccessary and doesn't warrant this communication.

New behaviour:
Client immediately focuses on unit, and makes it idle. Then, client
instructs server to idle unit, but only if unit was not already idle.

Removed functions in clients:
  request_unit_selected()
  handle_advance_focus()

Removed function in server:
  advance_unit_focus()

In server and clients:
  In other functions, removed all references to the bit "select_it"
  or "select_unit", which is no longer sent over the network.

  Removed PACKET_ADVANCE_FOCUS.

I think it's a clean sweep.
