random bot names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Give each bot a random name, so rather than s_bot.1, s_bot.2, we'll have 
s_bot.sally, s_bot.rachel, etc.

Ideally the bot would be able to control this, but the default behavior should 
be to give more interesting names.

Do we need to preface the bot with 's_bot' ?  We have the 'B' marker on the 
scoreboard now..

I think we need a way to distinguish an s_bot from an eliza_bot... what about:

Lauren (s_bot)
Laura (s_bot)
Deloris (eliza)

I guess that's true...  

I guess I'm thinking that this will be part of my long-envisioned plan to make 
s_bot into a more versatile bot with profiles or personalities.  If so, it 
would really be the only bot with so many name changes.  It would be versatile 
enough to be a completely different bot with each personality and make the 
's_bot' part essentially meaningless.

I think the random names should be part of the bot.lua, and not the game, since 
some people might want to have different names etc. S_bot personalities chosen 
randomly (or by arguments) would be great
