We can use the pregame player list to make some common options easier to
use. Creating an 'observer' player allows observers in the game. Not
creating such a player disallows observers. Creating barbarian players
enable barbarians - difficulty depending on how many barbarian players are
created. No barbarian players means no barbarians will appear in the game.

The latter also enables us to treat barbarian players increasingly as just
another kind of player with some special player effects/events.
