Title : arena and PK

As is a hallmark of our wonderful playerbase, we had some abusers
of the arena and aggro/PK system. I think I've fixed them.
Let me explain how it work(ed/s).

A attacks B. A is now aggro to B. B is running around with A
hunting him - maybe he wants to get away but can't. Enter C.
C challenges B to the arena. Since B is not the aggressor, this
is possible and B accepts. B and C sit in the arena while A
foams outside waiting to continue hunting B. B is therefore
essentially perma-safe.

Not cool in my book. I can appreciate wanting to get away but
I don't like the idea of abusng a piece of code like that.

So now if B tries to start an arena himself, he'll be told he
can't. Additionally if C tries to challenge B, C will be told
he cannot right now. A could never have started or accepted
an arena challenge so that is now unchanged.

I'll be making a similar change to the Magewar rooms so B cannot
just run and hide there (I think he can now? need to check on
that).

If this is too confusing for you, don't worry about it or draw
it out on paper.

As usual, "bug" problems or "bug" other places someone might be
able to abuse things like this if you want and I'll look at each
of them on a case-by-case basis.
