Summary: miscinfo.lst improvements

Initial Comment:
The docs for miscinfo are sketchy in some places and I'd need 
some info.
***************
Tag Name: TAB:x

Variables Used (x): Text (Tab Name).

What it does:

* Indicates which tab the options following it will affect. Must
be first on the line, to be followed by NAME and CONTEXT (and
optionally VISIBLE).
****************
The NAME field is generally listed as a "in_" var (ex. NAME:
in_skills)
After searching I found that these are defined in
LanguageBundle.properties.

The CONTEXT tag appears to be the file reference name for a help 
file
for the tab.

It also appears (looking at existing miscinfo files) that all of the
tabs must be listed. If the gamemode doesn't use that tab then
VISIBLE:NO is added but the TAB tag needs to be in the files (as
opposed to deleted or commented out).

If correct it would be very useful if this was noted in the docs.

All tags are now added. Just need to update index to point
to the new name anchors and add the tags to the index.

Added/Fixed the following TAGs and Info:
SPELLRANGE
SPELLBASEDC
DISPLAYORDER

The Following Tags were already fixed/updated:
ALLOWEDMODES
CLASSTYPE

MOVEUNIT is deleted; Move is now defined under the unitset
WEIGHTUNITABBREV has been replaced by WEIGHTUNIT
HEIGHTUNITABBREV has been replaced by HEIGHTUNIT

Still need to be fixed:
PLUSCOST not documented.
BASEDICE not documented.
WEAPONCATEGORY not documented.
WEAPONTYPE not documented.

(I don't know why we have two of these)
generic DEITY: entry in miscinfo is not documented.
The reason for having BONUS_ACFLAT entry in miscinfo is not 
documented and the tag iteself is not documented
-It makes the Flat AC display correctly based upon formulas,
 this will have to be fixed after the freeze.
The reason for having BONUS_ACTOUCH entry in miscinfo is not
documented and the tag iteself is not documented
-It makes the Touch AC display correctly based up formulas,
again another to be fixed after the freeze.

The TAB tag already exists, I don't know if the visible
property is required.

particular file. (4-18-06)
