* Cleaned up packet manipulation methods, no need to keep duplicate sets of functions doing the same
* Added a very basic ObjectGuid structure for easier (and endian-safe) method of accessing individual guid bytes
* Fixed Professor Putricide Tear Gas stunning himself
* Fixed visual of Unstable Experiment
* Fixed oozes not picking new targets after hitting old
* Fixed Gas Cloud not using melee attack
* Removed ooze summon position hack

Cleaning databases for old/deprecated and expired quests should never be a
developers choice specifically. This should be done by admins, not developers,
through the use of the already existing paramters found in the worldserver config :
CleanCharacterDB / PersistentCharacterCleanFlags
An adjustment to the respective questloader prepared statement has been done to
accomodate for the earlier change (by not loading such quests into memory at all).
Documentation for how this cleanup-procedures work already exists in the core :
doc/CharacterDBCleanup.txt.
Example:
==8753== Possible data race during read of size 8 at 0x2e803e60 by thread #8

Have a feeling this is a false positive, though. Nevertheless good to get rid of.
- Remove redundant locking in PingOperation. Since these are delayed to async threads with their own MySQL connection, no concurrent access here either.
- Codestyle cleanup
- Documentation refining
Most of the cores queries have been converted to prepared statements now. If your code contains queries, please either use the exiting or implement new statements.
The only exclusions are one-time queries (e.g. for core startup) and queries that can't be prepared due to limitations.
