Title : New Familiar Mania!


Before I start, this change only affects the following familiars:

hellhound, winterwolf, minion, kenzoku, mage familiar, squire

It does NOT affect anything else, so if something bugs with another
follower type including charmees, it is unrelated to this

Visible changes:
*The helpfiles are updated to reflect the new nature of familiars
*You may now setenv fam_color 1 to colorize some of your familiar's
messages
*You may now cast/pray/do familiar skill name long <description) to set a
long describe similar to how aramitama's work
*Changed some of the messages around a little, no more bye I'll miss you
mesg (made no sense for minions)

Invisible Changes:
*Numerous bug fixes
*Standardization of familiars that make use of the 'f' style of commanding
*Said standardization facilitates the easier creation of familiars by
wizards and also the editing thereof
*Hellhound and winterwolf actually act like familiars now...instead of
whatever they were formerly doing

Also your familiars well send you tells now, but these are only colored
like your normal tells and you will not reply to a familiar, nor will it
show up in your tell /last

Enjoy, as always, bug familiar bugs with attention to akio
