Summary: New GAMERULE LST file type

Initial Comment:
This proposal is for a new LST file type. It has two purposes, first it would alter or extend functions which have so far only been possible to configure in the gameMode files. The initial use of this would be to enable ABILITYCATEGORY lines to be loaded by a dataset instead of being enabled in the gameMode. Other suggestions include being able to set new STAT and CHECK lines so new stats and checks can be created without a separate gameMode.  

The second use would be as a place to hold global tags which would be applied to all characters.  Currently we have a number of DEFINE and BONUS tags in the statsandchecks file as well as a few miscellaneous tags in the PCC file which could be consolidated into a gamerule.lst file. 

This would allow the PCC file to go back to only using tags which load files or hold information about the dataset.  

The .pcc tag:      
	GAMERULE:gamerule.lst
