SmaugFUSS 1.9.7

SmaugFUSS 1.9.7 has been released.

This is a maintenance release to fix bugs that have accumulated since the previous release.

Changes for SmaugFUSS 1.9.7

do_vassign doesn't need to do double calls to assign_area.
SAVEVERSION in save.c is now defined as a const int rather than a preprocessor definition.
Added the save version to fwrite_mobile and fwrite_obj so that they will be capable of supporting versioned file output in the future.
Removed the unused old_fold_area function since all areas written by the codebase are in the new KEY format.
Capitalized some playable races and NPC classes which were being displayed as lowercase.
Finally got rid of that silly "args" define scattered throughout mud.h. It was already about halfway done in a haphazard manner for some reason. So it was time.
Ban, Allow, and Warn functions had icky goto statements in them. Those have been removed and the syntax messages moved into a proper block near the top of each.

Fixed

time_update was still using hardcoded values for the hours of the day. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/timeupdate-5003/
Stack size in the startup file cannot be set to unlimited or doing a hotboot will crash.

Makefile modified to disable memory sanitization options in Cygwin. Reported by Fiendish via GitHub. #4
Hotboots should now spawn a new log file.

Fixed
