nitfol automapping improvements

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The nitfol automapping code uses plain ASCII characters. While most
compatible, garglk is fully unicode-capable, so why not exploit that?

The attached patch changes line drawing and room characters to some decent
unicode codepoints, while allowing the -mapsym option to work as before.
When  monosize is set to the same value as propsize in the INI file, the
resulting automap look is great: straight, unsegmented lines and nice
graphical location indicators. Since the built-in fonts lack the required
characters, it only works with a different font (like DejaVu Sans Mono).

Almost all characters can be seen/tested when enabling the automap in
"Dangerous Curves" (available on ifarchive) and exploring the ground floor
outside. Options "-maploc r -mapsize 60" works great for a maximised
window. Command "/automap (global)0" enables the map.

Fantastic!

Although Liberation Mono doesn't have much in the way of Unicode support, so 
this may
send me off in search of a decent-looking monospace font that does.  There are 
so few
free ones to choose from.

Tor, Gargoyle's original creator, really dislikes Bitstream Vera / Deja Vu, so 
I'm
reluctant to include that font in any form.

Fixed in r343, though the font question remains unresolved.
