Homing missile monsters

I figured out how to make homing missile monsters.
First, let a monster target you.
Next, use Sacred Journey to travel to a different subserver.
Then return to the original subserver.

The newish "monsters follow you across serverline" code makes the monster
walk at high-speed right to your location. It's kind of amusing really.

I was stalked by a rotting corpse in Doom which was travelling faster than
my mount walked. Looked funny, as the RC's walk is a bit stiff-legged at the
best of times...
