How about: update_city_tile_status just moves the worker into an elvis.

The client can run the CM immediately upon getting the update
about the new tile status, if it so desires.  Never call the CM for the 
client, except when the player acquires a new city.

For AI players, put the city on a list of cities on which to call 
auto_arrange_workers at the end of the turn.

With this, we get optimal arrangement for the AI without 
recomputing it all turn long; similarly we get it for the client
without overloading the server.
