- Moved property testing, so that it happens before any propertySet events are
dispatched. In the previous version, testing happened while processing the
set event on the server - but since by that time client events have already been
sent, it introduced the possibility of short-lived inconsistencies between client
and server data models.
- Introduced a separate EZ API call for test and set - not only does it perform
the test, but unlike regular set, it does not cache the new value ahead of time.
Instead the new value will have to arrive from the server, at some future point.
- Trimmed PropertySetEvent and other handlers back down - they don't need to
carry any of the test info around, after it's already been performed. Also
cut redundant testing on the clients.

it's atomic in the sense that a single server event will test the variable,
and only set it if the previous value was null (i.e. didn't exist).
This allows for a level of elementary synchronization between the clients.
The new function on EZGameControl is:
_gameCtrl.testAndSet (propertyName, newValue[, index])
I hoped to generalize this to test against arbitrary values, but that's
significantly harder, since properties accept numerous types as values,
and those can have different representations on the client and the server.
So it remains a check against null until we need to generalize it. :)

- switched everything to be based on playerId instead of index
(which doesn't make sense for a party game.)
- started adding new functions
- backwards compatible with all old games!

and other dictionary tasks as separate job units on the Invoker thread
(that's because we want to be as lazy as possible about loading
dictionary files, but those can take a while :).

Changed the names of the 3 standard game types, but I could be convinced
of better names:
SEATED_GAME: normal match-made game, a game with a set list of players that
does not change.
SEATED_CONTINUOUS: the game starts immediately, but people join the room
and then choose a place to sit to become a player.
PARTY: no seats, anyone that enters is a player.
Also, changed SEATED_CONTINUOUS to create an occupants array and auto-sit
the creator, since I'm pretty sure we'll want to show seating in the lobby
for those types of games (but it actually does neither right now, code
needs to be written either way, depending on UI decisions.)

and retrieving a set of language-specific letters. This is just a transient checkin, since
it only pushes data both ways through the ActionScript/Java interface ("small step for
mankind, huge step for me" kind of a thing ;). Word lookup logic will be coming next.

The creator of a party game isn't joining, but I think that's a problem
with the msoy client...

Then intention is that other games besides EZGame may use this as well,
so it's semi-separated, but for now it's part of EZGame.

because otherwise the EZGameController will try to unmarshall the value.
The marshalling/unmarshalling is purely clientside, the server doesn't
understand how to do it, so it must dispatch a different event that just
contains a nice normal integer.

We'll be using this in game gardens, at least.
Note that the actionscript side currently doesn't compile because of
limitations in building a .swc file, but that'll be fixed soon.
