TBA data file whitespace cleanups. (#66)

Browse Source 
This just converts the few DOS text files still in here to standard text files (line-endings),
removes all the trailing spaces on lines, removes all the trailing blank lines, and replaces
all the tabs (except in .zon files, where they seem to be common) with expanded spaces.

It's easy to confirm this is actually a non-change, except for whitespace:
* `git show -w` shows this commit as only removing 8 trailing blank lines.

This should make no difference to tbaMUD itself, but it will make working on these files,
especially with scripts and automated tools, much easier.

This is the base change for a set of other changes I will put up once/if this merges,
without this, the others are just too complicated to wrangle.

Welcome to the Builder Academy~
A builder is a term usually used to describe a person who designs MUD zones
for other characters to explore. Any player with motivation, ideas, and good
writing style can be a builder as well as a player. As a Builder, your job is
to create the virtual world in which players can roam around, solve puzzles,
find treasures, and gain experience. A Builder creates the rooms, objects,
mobs, shops, and triggers with which players will interact.

have already been made, and to try to create a mob that is tougher is almost

impossible and will only duplicate existing mobs, or throw off the balance of

Zedit is what is used to load mobiles and objects into rooms. Every zone
goes through a zone reset, each one depending on how you set it. Upon a zone
reset all rooms, mobs, and objects will reload if they are no longer present.
Most new builders think mobs and objects are loaded by the "load" command.
This is not how it is done. Instead you use zedit in each room you wish a
mob or object to load. This way whenever the zone resets it will execute the
mob or object to load. This way whenever the zone resets it will execute the
zone commands to load all of your mobs and objects.
Zone edit, or zedit, is how you control how mobiles and objects are
integrated within the zone to create an inhabited world. Using "load obj

kills it or the mud reboots it will be gone. So you need to load mobs and
