If the game is running, then the server asks the client to change state (I
believe PRE_GAME_STATE). This in effect reboots the client. Look in
civclient.c. This should probably be rewritten. We need a new sc packet to
tell the client to clear the map and player (and probably game) structs.
Then we wouldn't need to resend the rulesets.
