Summary: [5.10] AUTO:FEAT / AUTO:VFEAT

Initial Comment:
Request for Global tags to replace all instances of FEAT, 
FEATAUTO, and VFEAT throughout the different files.  
Deprecation of all FEAT, FEATAUTO, and VFEAT tags, 
with LST Converter to AUTO:FEAT syntax.

Syntax can either go AUTO:FEAT with a PARAM:Virtual 
or PARAM:Automatic, or using AUTO:FEAT and 
AUTO:VFEAT without the optional PARAM tag.  
Whichever way is easier for the Code Monkey.

AUTO:VFEAT|<name of feat>,<name of feat2>,<name 
of mulitple feat(Choice)>|<PRExxx>|<PRExxx>

Since the AUTO:FEAT tag is not designed for a 
CHOOSEr, the <name of mulitple feat(Choice)> would 
need to list an exact choice to be applied, like Weapon 
Focus(Longsword)

At some point in the future it would be nice to have %
LIST capability for use with a CHOOSEr in another 
object, but that is out of the scope for now.

So, for example, the 3.0 Ranger TWF abilities would now 
be coded 
AUTO:VFEAT|Ambidexterity,Two-Weapon 
Fighting|PREVARLT:COUNT
[EQTYPE.ARMOR.EQUIPPED.IS.HEAVY],1,COUNT
[EQTYPE.ARMOR.EQUIPPED.IS.MEDIUM],1

That same one with the optional PARAMeter method 
would be:

AUTO:FEAT|PARAM:Virtual|Ambidexterity,Two-Weapon 
Fighting|PREVARLT:COUNT
[EQTYPE.ARMOR.EQUIPPED.IS.HEAVY],1,COUNT
[EQTYPE.ARMOR.EQUIPPED.IS.MEDIUM],1

PARAMeters would have to start with PARAM: and then 
be comma deliminated (not that we are doing more than 
one parameter here, since Automatic and Virtual are 
mutually exclusive.
