Cut down and rearrange options

[angband-import]

Reported by takkaria on 21 Mar 2007 14:36 UTC This encompasses removing some, turning some permanently on, and making them more obvious for the first-time user.

Discuss, and update as appropriate.

Remove:

• Preserve (turn on)
• Maximise (create a half-maximise?) Obviousness:
• When using '=' at the birth screen, show just the birth options
• Prompt for autoroll/point-based

• I much prefer maximize, otherwise all the races end up wanting pretty much the same equipment. Elf is no longer a challenge race; dunadan & high elf just reach the end of stat gain earlier than everybody else.
• Also need to make the default options sane. (view-torch-lit =yes, ignore-doors/stairs = no)
• flow-by-smell and flow-by-sound should always be enabled, and the options removed.
  • (Smart monsters with self-heal are too smart for infinite mana. Leave it as an optional challenge game.)

Comment by takkaria on 19 Apr 2007 17:14 UTC [07e5ba5] (SVN r48)+[6032265] (SVN r49) do the bulk of the work here. Still to do before this can be closed:

• fix autoroll menu
• clean out debug code in load.c
