Targeting 1.0

Added night targeting, allowing players to target other players with their abilities at night.
There are currently 5 types of abilities:
- On the first night abilities, such as the Guardian Angel's bind, which will only allow the player to target on the first night.
- Each Night abilities, such as the Bodyguard's protect, which have no cost and can be used once per night.
- Abilities with a certain amount of charges, such as the Shield Maiden's protect, that can be used a certain amount of times per game.
- Abilities that cost resources, such as the Fire Mage's fireball, that require the player to have enough of a certain resource to use the ability.
- Ultimates, such as the Chronomancer's paradox, which can only be used once per game.
Permanent effects are carried over to the next day, where as non permanent effects can always be viewed via target history.
Targeting currently decides 'Can I target' for a player. Deciding based on your ability's type, if it costs anything, your resources, if you've already used it, etc to decide if you can use the ability.
In the future targeting will also take into account 'Who can I target'. Restricting available targets to valid/allowed targets. For example the grave digger should only ever target dead players, and the bodyguard should not be able to target himself.

Now grants himself and his obsession permanent defense.
No longer collects blood to paint masterpieces.
Has a new resource, rage.
Each player that visits his obsession generates 1 rage.
Daytime elimination of a player that previously visited your obsession will cause you to lose 1 rage.
If he reaches max rage (5) he will kill his obsession target, and himself, losing the game.
He now wins the game if his obsession and himself are the only players left alive.

No longer gains blood charges when people die.
Has a new ability, drain, which allows him to leave a player bleeding and gain a blood charge each night.

The Council no longer perform a special acusation phase before announcements, they now vote to spare or eliminate the Council Elder's acusation target without discussion.

No longer sees who her target visits at night. Reverted back to learning her target's capabilities. (Thanks Elder!)

No longer learns his target's capabilities, now learns his target's role instead.

No longer asks the moderator if a question they posed during the day was answered truthfully.
Now appears to investigation as the faction that investigates him, and learns the identity of the player who investigated him.
Can now poison anyone, but only once per game.
