rsc-server: reconstructing a RuneScape Classic server

rsc-server reconstructs a RuneScape Classic server for the web-based rsc-client and Java mudclient204. Its Node.js implementation handles game packets over TCP or WebSockets, persists world data through rsc-data-server and adds quests, skills and interactions through plugins. The README also describes a browser worker mode.
