symbol *before* the files are repreprocessed

* new key store_location_as= to store generated chamber item locations
* the border has been made themable
* Instead of having an empty upkeep type as the default when reading a
config file being used to normally give leaders a 0 upkeep, now leaders
(canrecruit=1) are specifically exempted from upkeep and the upkeep
type defaults to "full" when read from config files the same as for
using the recruit function. This makes documenting how upkeep works
simpler (it currently wasn't really correct) without having to make
leaders loyal. It also will work better for campaigns where the leaders
change (not that there are any now) so that the current leader is
exempted and any exleaders pay for upkeep (unless the are specically
marked as loyal).
* make random_traits default to "yes". Leaders can't get random traits
yet, because it breaks MP, but it does give campaign units traits
by default. It also allows specifying some traits and letting the
rest fill in randomly. Some traits are always forced on for units
that can get them (undead and mechanical).
* not_living tag removed from race, as this information is provided
by the undead and mechanical traits.
* the default for turn limit has changed to unlimited, if you have scenarios
which rely on the old default of 50 please add a turns parameter to it

* rewrote the config merge routine (should improve parse time slightly)
* various code cleanups
* Isle of Anduin renamed to Isle of Alduin to avoid copyright problems.
* the assertion 'str.size() <= 4' no longer happens, instead the terrain
is read as 'void' and an ingame message is shown (bug #9609)
* IMPORTANT! End-of-scenario no longer takes you immediately to the
next scenario or the lobby. Instead, you linger in browse mode --
menu commands for chat, saving games, etc. are available.
Clicking end-of-turn ends the linger and takes you out.
* fixed a bug-cheat allowing super-ranged attack in some special cases
(thanks jgp93)
* fixed incorrect displayed reachable zone when moving next to an enemy
in special ZoC cases (skirmish or lvl0)
* It seemed it's ambiguous whether the GPL license as supplied by
Wesnoth means GPL 2 or GPL 2+, since Sirp's orginal intent was
GPL 2+ the license has been changed accordingly.
(See https://mail.gna.org/public/wesnoth-dev/2007-07/msg00014.html)
* When advancing from Dark Sorcerer to Lich, you now get the undead
trait. The way this is fixed can add random traits if the new unit
type allows more traits then the unit currently has. This would
cause a problem for multiplayer, but no advancement paths currently
have this case. You do get to keep your current traits, even if you
wouldn't get them in the new unit type.
* the minimum savegame protection is ignored when either the savegame
or the current game has 'test' as version

variable (bug #9555)
* the automatic unit description used a non-MP safe way, this has been
fixed
* the unit name generation could with different locales call get_random()
a different number of times. This lead to different names and traits.
Changed to call random a fixed number of times which fixes the traits.
* miscellaneous and bug fixes
* various code cleanups
* proper handling of description autogeneration for per level [effect]
on level 0 units
* changed the order of which the permanent modifications of a unit are
evaluated to (amlas, traits, objects)
(previous order: objects, traits, amlas)
