Disguise Kits

• Players who log out or are disconnected while wearing a Disguise Kit will have their name reverted to their normal name, and then returned to their disguised name when logging back in (this should prevent an issue where some UO Assistants tools would create a new profile for the player after detecting a "new name" for the character)

Four new Player Customizations have been added (accessible via Paperdoll -> Help -> Customizations -> Enhancements)

Stable Genius
Increases Stable Slots for all characters on account by 30 (cumulative)
