1. Auto-looting of NPCs

Auto looting of NPCs killed by a player or their summons.
The looting occurs on death, not entry to an area.
Looting does not occur if a different player kills the NPC, even if you are allowed.

Two new commands have been added and one modified.

/status has been modified to include the global autoloot status. {admin only]

/autoloot is a gods and imp command to globally turn on/off autolooting. [admin only]

/loot <options> turns on/off autolooting for a player and allows them to tailor what gets looted.
Options are:
Info gives status of options.
Gold turns on/off the auto looting of gold.
Scrolls turns on/off the auto looting of scrolls [Partially tested].
Potions should turn on/off the auto looting of potions [not implemented yet as I cannot distinguish between potions and other magic items].
Soulstones turns on/off the auto looting of soulstones.
Weapon1 turns on/off the auto looting of weapons not found on the original NPC template.
Weapon2 turns on/off the auto looting of all weapons.
Armour1 turns on/off the auto looting of armours not found on the original NPC template.
Armour2 turns on/off the auto looting of all armours.
Magical turns on/off the auto looting of any magical item.

Note that some of these groupings overlap.
The auto looter only needs to satisfy one of them to execute the looting.

These options affect a Player killing an NPC.
These options affect a Summons killing an NPC. The loot goes back to the owner.

Feel free to test this and provide any feedback of bugs or constructive suggestions.

Your mission is to test any combinations or permutations of the above to make sure the auto-loot functionality is robust and easy to use.
