0.25.2438 - Inventory Improvements

Finally! While this release doesn’t have many new features and improvements (comparing to almost a month since the last one :D), a complex reworking of some subsystems internals has been made, which in future will help adding planned features more easily.

Of the noteworthy changes: The map icons have been redrawn for all the inventory items. I hate them already :D But won’t spend time on redrawing them again now. An extensive rebalancing of some statistics, such as XP gains, and bondage items reinforcements, now they almost always make sense, e.g. monsters will be much less likely to replace a stronger bondage item with a weaker one.
