Subject: [PATCH] feat(entity): a character's components as the client makes
 them

LWOCharacterComponent::Factory makes possession control, mount control, pet
creator, level progression and forced movement, then the character, all with
componentID -1; DLU now makes the same set in the same order (mount control
and pet creator are new, empty). The ghost is added after the component walk,
where the client adds it, for a character with physics. Nothing sent changes.
