Added DEFAULT_HOME value of 2 to settings.py.dist

Added import of DEFAULT_HOME from settings into defines_global
Removed clear_players()
Removed clear_things()
Created a more general clear_objects():
  * obj.clear_objects()
    * Everything with obj as its location will be moved
      to its home.
    * If the home is the obj, then said objects will be
      moved to DEFAULT_HOME, if it exists.
    * If the said objects do not have a home, they will
      also be moved to DEFAULT_HOME.
