Add shortcuts to make GvG fights easier

My FS username is Butcherer.

Issue: in order to be able to fight multiple targets in GvG conflicts (especially when
fighting in multiple conflicts at the same time, to make better use of RL time and
received buffs), you need to open at least one tab for each target player and keep
shuffling between players, refreshing the pages to see if there are any buffs on them,
then clicking on the attack player link/button. As each page needs some time to load,
and a browser with 15+ open FS tabs isn't exactly lightning fast, the whole process
ends up taking more RL time than needed, keeps you locked in front of the computer
mostly waiting for pages to load and uses a lot of system resources.

Proposed solution: add a series of shortcuts to the guild conflicts page that allow
you to fight a set of selected targets without leaving that page. This could be done
as follows:

1) When looking at a potential target's profile page, you can mark the player as a
GvG target by pressing on a button in the actions section.
2) Once the conflict with that guild is initiated, you can see all marked targets below
the guild name in the conflicts page, one per row.
3) Next to each target player in the conflicts page, you can see what buffs it has
(with a button to refresh the list of buffs), and a set of buttons / links for basic
actions (attack, remove from list, see last combat, etc.). Maybe also add a timer to
show how much time has passed since the last attack. 

The expected result is that GvG fights will waste much less RL time, because the player
can do other things while fighting (read his email, drink his coffee, play another
game etc.) and less system resources will be used (due to less tabs open in the browser).
With the proper implementation, even less server resources will be used, as certain
pages will only be partially loaded during this process (for example the player profile
page, where you just want the buffs, you'll only need to load the page source for that,
instead of the whole thing, with images, scripts running and pulling in even more resources,
etc.)

Thank you

P.S. I already have code written for this functionality, though as a different script
that I (or someone) would first have to integrate into FSHelper if this enhancement
is approved.

HCS has appoved this as not automation and the creation of it is allowed (I am not starting
work on it yet though)
