React in-game to incremental location checks made outside of the current game. #71

Other concurrent games in the same slot, and console commands, and possibly gremlins, can all result in the location being released outside of the game's own world.

I think that the code is robust enough that I can easily add externally-sourced location checks along the same vein as externally-sourced received items, and I know that we already watch the RoomUpdate packets for other reasons, so it shouldn't actually be hard, just needs like 20 minutes of focus time or something.

We react to locations sent by completion now
It looks like RoomUpdate doesn't get sent when a concurrent player in the same slot completes a location check
I also don't see a way to manually release a subset of locations

Leaving this open for the remainder, but at low-priority.
