Cleans up the properties sent to the client on login and appraisal. Based on PCaps and client information, an adjustment of these properties has been done to ensure ACE is not sending more information than the client needs. Fixes some potential exploits in addition to wasted bandwidth.

Removed some unused property attributes and functions while it was being cleaned up. All properties are now what formerly were tagged [ServerOnly] unless they have the [SendOnLogin] or [AssessmentProperty].

Note that many properties are no longer tagged with the AssessmentProperty attribute because they are, and always have been, sent elsewhere (e.g. in the CreateObject message or in Armor or Weapon profile part of the AppraiseInfo message)

This will undoubtedly "break" some post-retail plugins/tools that were using some of this extended data, but the client should never have had this data to begin with.
