From now on, ideally any function with "get" in the name should always
return a valid value. A function with "find" in the name, however, does
the same thing, but may also return an invalid result such as an error
code.
These changes include storing monsters on shutdown, storing dead
characters and monsters, etc. Also fleshed out the MonsterManager's
internals a bit.

Although the room transitions are working fairly well, it is still heavy
handed, and a number of optimizations can be done. On the whole, this
needs a review.
I've hacked the trigger system to create a really basic teleport pad,
using the dirt tile as an indicator. This behaviour is not coded into the
engine, but is in fact scripted in lua.
This commit is messy, due to lack of sleep.
There was a bug in the entity API, where getMotion() was pushing the
origin instead of the motion. This has been corrected. Since this is an
important bug, and because the features for this leg is finished, I'll
merge this to master.
I need to devise a way to update the clients about changes to their
characters directly from the lua scripts. This isn't too important per se,
but the pattern will be important for the monster and trigger systems.
I've added a simple edge-smoothing function to debug island's generator. It
doesn't handle all edge cases (pun intended), but the proof of concept is
sound. I just wish I could release this...
I've also added exception checks to region.cpp
This is my solution for handling inheritance via lua. The Entity class is
only a base class, so the entity API is designed to be copied from, rather
than used directly.
linit.c: It should be noted that the Entity API must always be placed
before the utilizing child APIs. I don't know about how lua handles things
internally, but I'm assuming that this is the case.
There's no real meat in the API code yet, since that's just busy-work.
Right now I feel beter about writing the connective tissue. This case
could aslo extend to the waypoint and monster APIs.
The waypoint system had some API and class methods removed for brevity.
