The system used to be of complexity O(n^2). Essentially two for loops running per every argument. Which ended up being surprisingly slow (there were instances where I saw the argument parser as using quite a lot of CPU time).
This replaces it with a more linear algorithm. It's somewhere near O(n) where n is the length of the unparsed query. Which is more stable and faaaster. This comes with two changes, however:
Parameters inside the query now have to be delimited from both sides with : (colons). The alternative to this would be to use something like $n or just assume that space marks the end of a marker. Only the former is workable, the latter would break a few queries already.
Arguments in the argument array no longer have to be prefixed by : (colons). So, while in the query you would write :thing:, you'd initialize the array of args as: list("thing" = somevar). It could be made to work without it, but eh, I think this is fine.
Argument validation is slightly weaker. What I mean by this is that with the old system, unused keys would result in an error. This is no longer a thing. Missing keys will still result in an error, however.
One more improvement: double delimiting removes an edge case where if key A partially covers key B, depending on the order, key A would mangle key B.
Updated and tested all queries that I could find. So this should be good.
Re-adds IPC APC feeding
Removes more of the horror that is type paths in text strings when they don't have to be there :ree:
Fix a bunch of lore blurbs
SQL saving is fixededed
Mark-up REGEX now requires whitespace or line ending/starts between tokens. It doesn't grab tokens surrounded by non-whitespace characters.
Updated the server greeting to only updated saved hashes if a user actively clicks on a tab.
C4 now forces old system for itself, due to raisins.
Admin verb to toggle between global default explosion type. One round only. Requires R_DEBUG or R_SERVER, is hideable.

Fixes#600Fixes#588
Ports Apollo's infraction's system, creating a permanent criminal record for every character. Every minor or medium infraction accrued over the course of a round is added to the character's permanent security record which is available at vanilla records councils. Antagonists are automatically exempt from this process, and players can exercise control over what charges they consider canon or not.
Brigging a person is now dependent on the criminal sentencing computer, which reads a person's ID and applies a brig timer automatically for the charges selected. Personnel without ID's will have to be brigged manually.
