Took a first stab at the calendar lag today. Starting with a 200-year medium world running a 23 second dwarf mode two-week calendar and a 2 minute adventure mode two-week calendar (adv mode runs some extra information since the initial army/etc. positioning is important), I managed to get it down to 10 seconds and 11 seconds respectively by doing some normal optimizations and cleaning up some path-finding mistakes. There are many more things that can be done, and hopefully all of it can be done without weakening the simulation. The faster calendar affects regular fort mode speed to some degree, and also things like sleep being slow in adventure mode. The faster calendar is also good because it starts to open the door for optionally longer wait periods and other stuff like that. More bug fixes tomorrow, probably.

-Kobolds could be added too, i dont know how a Kobold fort would work, but i bet they could use vermin and small animals for food, maybe use wooden stuff, its not like one gets stolen equipment anyways.

Updated, weapon changes rolled back to vanilla, mostly since I have a feeling Toady is going to do some refining on his own and I'll follow those balances instead of my hackjob changes.

the weapon raws in 0.40.04 are exactly the same as in the previous version

also uh, hi why were the changes a thing in the first place (oh right because vanilla weapons are wacko and some weapons are rather useless or overpowered!)

(*) People with a weapon should use it with the proper frequency now
