Add hints to dangerous situations on Standard difficulty

[TommiGustafsson-HMP]

There are three types of hints:

1. Hints that appear in a dangerous situations where you are about to die or experience some other bad mishap
2. Hints that appear after you are dead (end game hints: "You should have done this..."). In the modern mode, they appear between being dead and being reborn.
3. Hints that appear after some disastrous event ("You shouldn't have done that...").

All hints appear maximum one time per game. They do not appear repeatedly in the same game.
