Server engine actually giving players 2 second turns

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The server engine currently sleeps for a second before starting the one-second 
timer for the players' turn limit. On one hand, this is giving players 2 
seconds to select their moves, but on the other hand, it prevents any game 
lasting n turns from finishing before n seconds have passed.

With the current turn limit of 200, this means that many games may take more 
than 3 minutes to run.

Fix:
backend/engine.py
Remove line 309:
    time.sleep(1)

Jeff, could you review this and push it to trunk if you agree? I don't want to 
waste space branching for this.

Thanks for pointing this out. Let's give it a shot and see what happens. 
Hopefully throughput will double and nothing will break. The change is now live.
