More descriptive boot sequence

[sean-gilliam]

When booting the server, we get something like the following displayed on the console.

*** Beginning RIFTSHADOW MUD server ***
Creating persistent SQL connection...
Loading options and greeting screen...
Loading class and race data...
Initialize random number generator...
Setting time, weather, and berus/calabren pos...
Assigning gsns and psns to skills and spells...

Tue Oct 24 02:14:07 2023 :: Riftshadow booted, binding on port 9999.

It would help a great deal for devs, as well as server maintainers, if each step could be a bit more descriptive about files being loaded, errors encountered, etc.

Something like

*** Beginning RIFTSHADOW MUD server ***
...
Loading area list from [area/area.lst] ...              
* Loading area [limbo] from [area/limbo.are]					[DONE]
* Loading area [testshrin] from [area/testshrin.are] 	[DONE]
...

* 12 areas found. 12 areas loaded.

Loading players from [players/] ...
