Details:
Booleanize the structure of functions below save_command() for savegame
version 2.
Currently, failures to save the game are only textually reported to users but
are not treated by the server, which is bad for automated, self-managed
servers running 24/7, such as Longturn, Greatturn and similar.
This patch intercepts all save failures along the functions chain beneath
save_command(), and makes a boolean available to let the machine check the
result.
Since when such save failures occur (various assert fails) they usually
compromise any other future saves too, Greatturn uses this to automatically
revert the game to the last functioning savefile, 10 minutes back.
Other case usage for this could be a Lua handle to send a warning email to the
server operator, etc.
