Ship targeting fixes, changes.

Hi all,

I've finished dealing with a handful of bug reports related to ship targeting, and made a couple of tweaks along the way and have some clarifications to make:

- You'll no longer be spammed with various messages when in motion and target locking.
- You'll no longer be able to begin or finish a target lock if you're outside target range, but you can step outside range in the interval between the lock beginning and completing. The range for targetlock is 13su.
- You can now SHIP TARGET anything within 40su. Previously this was 20su. If you're within 40su but outside the 13su range, your ship will automatically attempt to target lock once you're in the 13su range for the target lock.
- Previously you could remove your lock/intended target with SHIP TARGET NONE, but now that is indicated in syntax.

Regards,
Neritus
