Remove data files from source control #6

Open jcmcbeth opened 3 years ago

All the data files should be removed from source control. They should be generated by the MUD or each MUD author instead of being checked in.

The MUD should gracefully handle these files being missing and initialize them with good starting data. I think this could be done with a combination of code and having a new directory that contains basic starting data, like the limbo area and items. So when the MUD starts for the first time it will generate the files needed to run if it can. Like some of the .lst files. Then for things it probably shouldn't, like area files like limbo it can copy them from the directly of starter files.

For reference #24 involves updating the do_propeganda skill code to do_propaganda, so for any default template we provide it should have this updated.
