For loading the world by each player's fog rather than a fixed 900 m. keep_near_test: a zone round
one corner brings in its tile, a bigger one its neighbours, an edge nudged back and forth twenty times
changes nothing, and a zone moved 2 km away lets them all go.

nav_load_index indexes a saved mesh's tiles (cell, offset, size, ref) from their headers and keeps the file open, with no tile in. nav_tiles_keep reads in the tiles within rin of any player and removes those past rout of all; the file is read through Ludic's pack-aware file_open. The file format is unchanged. tiles_test: tiles come and go with the point, a path works across the seams once they are in, and a reset closes all. Measured on the baked maps (the 900 / 1100 m ring round the start): Maroon 617 of 1807 tiles in, 8.9 MB instead of about 27 MB for a person and 5.4 MB of about 14 for a large walker; Lamar 391 of 1147. Both libraries are rebuilt; nav 17/17 on the Mac and the PC, DLL KERNEL32 only.
