Orrery, Hostility, Safe PK

* You can now INFUSE the spirit/shadow globes in all rooms of the Observatory, rather than just the room housing the Orrery.

* The Observatory, and all open PK areas, now give you a 'hostility aura' upon entering. This aura persists for one minute after leaving the area, and marks you as open pk for having it. This one minute timer is refreshed whenever you attack someone, or are attacked. This also means attacking someone with a hostility aura will give you that hostility aura as well.

* There's a new config option: CONFIG SAFEPK <ON|OFF|WARN>
- When turned on, most attempts to attack a target that isn't flagged as open PK (e.g. ylem aura, hostility aura) will halt, informing you as such. This is disabled against targets you are already in combat with, or have attacked you first.
- When set to warn, instead of halting the attack, it will still go through but you'll get a warning message for the first 20 seconds of attacks against that target.

Here's a full list of what allows an attack through Safe PK. Message me if you think I missed something.
- Target has Hostility, Foci, or Defilement aura.
- You and target are both in the arena, or sect arena.
- Target is within the radius of an active foci.
- You and target are both within a fighting pit.
- Target is in an open PK area.
- Target is in a city they're an enemy of.
- You or the target have been aggressive towards each other within the last minute.
