This helps mitigate lag caused by the computer grabbing meta information about almost **two thousand books** over sql on EVERY load of the library computer interface

Works pretty well. If it can't GC something, it'll just del() it and be done.
Speed is amazing, holy shit.
New procs you should be aware of:
qdel(atom/movable) - sets up an object for garbage collection. Call this rather than del(atom/movable).
atom/movable/Destroy() - called right before the object is GC'd, so it still has a loc. Also called if the object is del()'d.
new controller - garbage.dm has all the details on this. Basically it nulls all references on GC'd objects and force del() them if necessary.
Generally speaking, objects should use Destroy() for behavior prior to deletion rather than Del(). You should also always call the parent so the object gets the right gc_destroyed var set.
ISSUES:
Tries to GC mobs atm. This actually works for new players, not so much for humans/monkies/simple_animals/anything. I'm guessing it needs to clear out their mind and HUD and maybe other things.
Gibbing is really bugged. It works, but the overlays just sit there for awhile and ugh. I'm very tempted just to del() mob/living and mob/camera and call it a day.
qdel() equipment doesn't unequip the item.
Pipes don't generally GC correctly. Debugging suggests they get referenced in many pipenets and that isn't cleared properly. However some do work fine. Need assistance here.
Bots don't GC, probably in the radio controller.
Lots of other shit doesn't GC but it's hard to find them because of the pipe spam.
I think I'm calling Destroy() twice by accident.
Made the wiki books use the config's wikiurl.
Updated some information in the non-wiki manuals.
You can now specificy a book's window size, the wiki books will be given a value since they are not automatically set the window size.
*TABLEPASS was already totally obsolete.
FPRINT was used, but it was on virtually everything anyway.
Removes those flags from every instance where they were used. Also assigned and removed other flags where it made sense.
If it is desired, I can revive the flag as NOFPRINT, which would retain the original functionality, though inverted. That way it would be be used only where it was intentional (holodeck items could use this for example).
*Span classes the whole update
*Spellbooks no longer vanish after being used, instead used spellbooks now have various bad effects should they be attempted to learned from again (the original reader won't acidentally fall to this, as they will just say "I've already read this"). Leave em out as traps for people or properly dispose of your trash! Or...
*The charge spell can now attempt to recharge one use spellbooks so someone else can learn the spell. This only has a 20% success rate and will destroy the book should it fail (even if the book was actually unused). You can't attempt this on the wizard's spellbook
*The "staff of nothing" (functional) placeholder now uses the generic staff sprites
*Spellbooks can now be placed in bookshelves just like normal books
*The teleport spell won't yank anchored things anymore, but as a consolation it will warp the entire contents of a tile should it be targeted. The code has been tweeked so this shouldn't effect the server too bad even if large numbers of items are warped to unique locations this way
