Space Patch Information

Description

This patch adds per space object measurement units by providing two new configuration attributes. CF_RANGE_FACTOR is used when converting between ship and internal coordinates, and CF_RANGE_NAME is used in some displays as an indicator of the units being shown.

This patch also adds a range_t and coord_t typedef, in preparation for a possible attempt to allow a float or int to be used in an end-user selectable fashion. This may prove to be unworkable.
