* Added mintime and maxtime to spawnentry. This will prevent a NPC from spawning outside of the times specified. NPCs spawned in this way will then behave like normal NPCs. They will not despawn on their own, unlike spawn_events/spawn_conditions. NPCs using this that are alone in their spawngroup will attempt to spawn after their respawn timer has expired if the time of day is outside their range. Otherwise, another NPC in the spawngroup will be chosen to spawn. The normal rules (chance, spawn_limit) still apply to these NPCs, this is just another rule added to the system.
mintime and maxtime both represent the in-game EQ Hour. Valid values are 1-24. If either or both of the values are 0, then the NPC will not have any time restriction.
Added a new rule World:BootHour. This allows server admins to specify the EQ hour the server will boot to. Valid options are 1-24. Setting this rule to 0 (default) disables it and world will use whatever time is specified in the DB.
* generated base_spawnentry_repository.h from script
* removed the rule insert from database_update_manifest.cpp.
* Add logging, initializers, minor cleanup
* Remove if/else branch
* Update eqtime.cpp
* Initializers, logging

Changed the wandertype IDs to an enum so we know what we're looking at.
Added new pathgrid type 8 (GridRandomCenterPoint). (SQL required) This new type causes a NPC to alternate between a random waypoint in grid_entries and a random waypoint marked with the new centerpoint column set to true. If no waypoints are marked as a centerpoint, this wandertype will not work. There is no numbering requirement or limit for centerpoints. You can have as many as you need.
New spawngroup field: wp_spawns (SQL required). Added a new spawngroup field, which is a boolean that if true changes the behavior of spawngroups this way: If the spawnpoint in the spawngroup has a grid, the NPC will spawn at a random waypoint location taken from its grid instead of the spawnpoint location.
New randompath behavior: The randompath grid type will now use the closest waypoint as its current waypoint on spawning. This allows multiple spawn locations to use the same grid without having the undesirable behavior of walking to the first waypoint through walls and ignoring waypoint nodes. NPC::GetClosestWaypoint() was renamed to NPC::GetClosestWaypoints() as it was filling a list of multiple waypoints. a new method NPC::GetClosestWaypoint() returns a single waypoint in the form of an integer.
Added two new NPC special_abilities, ALWAYS_FLEE and FLEE_PERCENT.
Fixed an issue where a NPC could get stuck on a single coord in a rectangular roambox.
Added mindelay to spawngroup to allow for greater control of the roambox delay. SQL is required.
