      implements shop specialisation.
     
      
I have placed an updated version of this patch on the tracker, AFAIK
it has no remaining bugs or missing features. There are a couple of
minor tweaks that could be made (most noticeably to the output from
the bargaining skill) but that should probably be done at a later
stage.

I don't really want to get new suggestions at this point, but comments
on implementation details would be much appreciated.

The next bit is trying to get this into CVS, it requires that the maps
that have shops on be modified to contain the information about the
types of shops that they are.

Also the map editor needs to support the new headers.

I therefore intend to do the following:
1) draft a proposed list of modifications for the shops in the major
cities (scorn, navar, brest, wolfsburg, nurnberg, darcap and pupland)
to the crossfire-maps list.
2) leave these to collect comments for a few days
3) whilst that is happening write the changes needed to the map editor
4) commit the changes to the map editor first.
5) then the server patch
6) finally the maps, when any discussion has died down
7) update other more obscure maps that are away from major towns and cities.
