Change Emily Convert Behavior (change "give Emily <containername>" to "Emily give <containername>") #106

When using the "Emily convert" command, she asks you to give her the container containing your convertible items. Because this currently allows her to accept items using "give Emily ", it allows inexperienced players to give containers to Emily with that command without understanding that this will cause her to simply keep the container (assuming that the "Emily convert" command was not used first). To avoid this accidental loss of items, I propose changing the command following Emily convert to "Emily give " and then disabling her from accepting the command "give Emily ". This follows the current Emily command syntax (beginning her commands with the word "Emily") and is therefore more consistent, as well as effective in preventing her from automatically accepting anything given to her.
