Changes to harvesting and plants

Written by: Maya, the Great Mother

Several significant changes to harvesting and plants are now active:

- The command PLANTS will no longer show the precise # of pieces
available for harvest from each plant in the room. It will now show
"Abundant", "Plentiful", "Moderate", and "Sparse". These descriptions
correspond to these numbers: 45-60, 25-44, 10-24, and 0-10.

- You will only be able to HARVEST from a plant ONCE per Achaean day.

- However, HARVEST will instead result in multiples of the particular
plant. The level of abundance will dictate the amount, with some
randomness. If you harvest from an "Abundant" plant, for example, you
will get more than if you harvest from a "Sparse" plant.

- If a plant is at least at "Plentiful" level, it will automatically
spread to nearby rooms of the same environment that do not already have
a plant of the same type.

- LASTHARVEST will now only show the name of the last harvester, and it
will clear this name at the end of every Achaean day.

- Plants that are not on the Prime Material Plane will periodically be
purged.

- Fire will slowly reduce plant abundance level. When a plant in a room
that is on fire is reduced to 0, it may die off. (The chance for this is
slight, however.)
