Remove Alchemist class and associated skills/code

Alchemy has always been ridiculously broken and there's been a huge
amount of horrible code to support it. Sorry to any fans of
Alchemy, but it's got to go.

-	"Essences are the tools of the trade for Alchemists, "
-	"and unfortunately are useless for any other class. "
-	"Alchemists use essences to create magical items for them to use.\n\n"
-	"They can be either found on the floor while exploring the dungeon, "
-	"or extracted from other magical items the alchemist finds "
-	"during their adventures.\n\n"
-	"To create an artifact, the alchemist will have to sacrifice 10 hit points, "
-	"and an amount of magic essence similar to his skill in alchemy. "
-	"The alchemist then allows the artifact to gain experience, "
-	"and when it has enough, "
-	"uses that experience to add abilities to the artifact. "
-	"The alchemist can allow the artifact to continue to gain experience, "
-	"thus keeping open the option to add more abilities later. "
-	"This requires a similar amount of magic essence, "
-	"but does not require the sacrifice of other hit points.\n\n"
-	"Note that the experience you gain is divided among the artifacts "
-	"that you have as well as going to yourself, "
-	"so you will gain levels more slowly when empowering artifacts. "
-	"Also, the artifact only gets 60% of the experience. "
-	"So killing a creature worth 20xp would gain 10 for you, "
-	"and 6 for the artifact.\n\n"
-	"You can also modify existing artifacts when you attain skill level 50. "
-	"Also at skill level 50 you will gain the ability to make temporary artifacts, "
-	"which don't require the complex empowerments that regular items require, "
-	"but also vanish after awhile.\n\n"
-	"You cannot give an artifact an ability "
-	"unless you have *Identified* an artifact which has that ability.\n\n"
-	"For every four levels gained in the alchemy skill, "
-	"the alchemist learns about objects of level (skill level)/4, "
-	"starting by learning about level 1 objects at skill level 0. "
-	"(actually 1, but who's counting?)\n\n"
-	"At skill level 5 you gain the ability to make ego items - but watch it! "
-	"Your base failure rate will be 90%, "
-	"and won't be 0% until you reach skill level 50. "
-	"Adding gold will increase the chances of success "
-	"in direct proportion to the value of the item you are trying to create. "
-	"Note that this results in automatic success "
-	"when the item you are trying to create "
-	"happens to pick up a curse in the process.\n\n"
-	"At skill level 5 you also gain knowledge of some basic ego item recipes. "
-	"These are: Acidic, Shocking, Fiery, Frozen, Venomous, and Chaotic weapons, "
-	"Resist Fire armour, and light sources of Fearlessness.\n\n"
-	"At skill level 10 you will gain knowledge of digging ego items, "
-	"if you have selected the option "
-	"'always  generate very unusual rooms' (ironman_rooms).\n\n"
-	"At skill level 15 you can create ego wands, staves, rings, etc.\n\n"
-	"At skill level 25 you gain the ability to empower artifacts "
-	"and double ego items.\n\n"
-	"At skill level 50 you gain the ability to create temporary artifacts, "
-	"which don't require any exotic ingredients "
-	"beyond a single corpse of any type.\n\n"
-	"Between skill levels 25 and 50, "
-	"you will steadily gain the ability to set more and more flags.\n\n"
-	"To finalise an artifact, you 'P'ower it, and select the powers you want.\n"
-	"Powers are divided into the following six categories:\n"
-	"*****essences.txt*03[Stats, Sustains, Luck, Speed, Vision, etc.]\n"
-	"*****essences.txt*04[Misc. (Auras, Light, See Invisibility, etc.)]\n"
