Initial version of GameTime object. #924

This adds a time tracking component for in game time and real world time spent on game play game time is saved with game.

In game time is based on a time_factor that scales the time, so with a time_factor of 10 will make 24 hours in game elapse with 2.4 real world hours, this is configurable though engine/gameplay.txt time_factor variable.

I also added a display of time spent on game in saved game slot menu, see following url for screen shoot:

A canonincal string representation of a Time object is:

days:hours:minutes:seconds:ms

And i have a lot of ideas like adding time controlling of dialogs etc.

The following example would make a dialog available after 1 day and 12 hours of in game time and will not be available after 30 minutes after that.

[dialog]
available_before=1:12
available_after=1:12:30
him=Hello...

This example would enable a dialog every day after 23:00 and before 06:00 the day after.

[dialog]
available_within=00:23:00,01:06:00
him=Zzzz Zzzz

Both examples above introduces functionality to have quest given at specific timeline of game play.

Closing this, as we're doing this work in the "lighting" branch instead.
