Oolite 1.73.3 and 1.73.4 reliably crash, bad commodity.plist

Update: v2633-5 implement a modification to the way Oolite interprets commodities.plist.

In trunk - and in 1.74+ - no oxp will be able to override commodities units of measure: food will be always weighed in tons, gem-stones in grams, etc... Apart from anything else, this avoids cargo randomly changing mass depending on which station the ship is docked at.

Combined to the previous fix (the one that stops Oolite from crashing), this will enable people to still use 'broken' oxps, and experience no breakage whatsoever.

While the crash fix is already in maintenance, due to the fairly extensive code rewriting needed to implement it, it's unlikely we'll be able to port this last feature change/fix to maintenance.

Due to the word maintenance being used twice in the last sentence I'm somewhat confused as to which version of Oolite this fix is in/is going to be in for 'Joe Public'...

For the moment, the fix is only in trunk, which means that the no overiddable commodity units are scheduled for v1.74. However, the actual crash is fixed in both maintenance and trunk, which means that in the event of a v1.73.5, there will be no crashes because of inconsistencies with the commodity units, even if they can be overriden by OXPs.

So to sum up?

1.73.4 - Crash fixed
1.73.5 - Crash fixed & Forced units

No. Just as he wrote:

1.73.5 (if we're going to have it): crash fixed
1.74: everything else

pmw57: No, to be precise:
1.74 (not out yet): Crash fixed and forced units.
1.73.5 (not out yet): Crash fixed.
1.73.4: Bugged.

Your precision is appreciated. Thanks!

Note to self: less is more.
