Protocol change ... addition of planet number being orbited, and server
calculated repair time to shields and hull.  Only available for self.

Does anyone see any potential real abuse that may affect balance?

It seems that both values could easily be derived from the data stream
already, and so adding them to the protocol doesn't seem to be much of a
problem.

Needless to say, the new packet is only sent if the client sends a
feature agreement for it.
