Client-Server Optimization Progress

The server code is now optimized for getting unit and map information into shared memory for the client. To get a ballpark estimate of how much of a speed improvement was attained, I ran both the most recent version revision of BWAPI and the most recent release of BWAPI - 2.8 - on the same replay and measured the frames per second each version could achieve when playing with /speed 0 and the replay mode on Fastest x16. Before optimization, the client and server could run at 53 FPS. After optimization, the speed increased to 87 FPS. While these numbers are specific to my computer, other computers will likely get a similar 50-70% speed increase.

Also, the test framework now tests every special ability, using related unit information commands like isStimmed, isStasised, and isLockedDown to verify that the abilities were executed successfully.
