Ensure that unique items stay unique!

Requires DataManager and LuaFileSystem (included in this repo)!

Unique items are now limited to one at a time. Any extras that happen to be found or spawned in will be zapped out of existence.

Players that haven't logged in for a certain amount of time (30 days by default) will lose any unique items they are holding.
