Load and save

Now when Actor class is refactored out I can continue writing save and load routines. Most of object types already can save and load, but some of them still missing. I'm using my world famous Tar_Ball system (developed for Teemu) in save/load. It's not beautiful, but it gets the job done.

The big question remains whether to save per level or keep all levels in memory. Kaduria is going to be a graphical roguelike for modern computers which can handle the memory requirements, but then again it could be cool to keep memory use low. Levels are active one at a time so there would be no need to store all levels at once anyway. Saving a level for first time is revealing, it can be estimated there how much memory one level spends.
