return to the character screeen. And other related improvements. * Uid now optional when removing an entity from IdMaps since that Uid may have been transferred to the new entity created when the client exits "in-game". * Added notes about making sure to update the CharacterId mapping when changing the `kind` field of `Presence`. * Add a parameter to `delete_entity_recorded` that indicates whether it is being called from `handle_exit_ingame` and that provides the `Uid` that was removed from the entity so that we can more explicitly and correctly handle that case. * We now add the Uid of the client to the deleted entities list when it exits "ingame". (still need to rework code so that the client doesn't delete its own entity). * Improved integration of possession code with ForceUpdate logic. * Don't remove `Presence` component from old entity in possession so that deleting that entity will properly handle updating the CharacterId unmapping (if the old entity isn't going to be deleted we still remove the `Presence` component so that it doesn't keep terrain loaded). * Added a couple TODOs on existing tangential things I noticed.
