Added some batch and prototype examples. Need to ponder how to handle migrations of proxies under evennia/.

+A prototype is a simple way to create individualized instances of a
+given Typeclass. For example, you might have a Sword typeclass that
+implements everything a Sword would need to do. The only difference
+between different individual Swords would be their key, description
+and some Attributes. The Prototype system allows to create a range of
+such Swords with only minor variations. Prototypes can also inherit
+and combine together to form entire hierarchies (such as giving all
+Sabres and all Broadswords some common properties). Note that bigger
+variations, such as custom commands or functionality belong in a
+hierarchy of typeclasses instead.
+
+Example prototypes are read by the @spawn command but is also easily
