New debug command #wizobjprobs for listing item probabilities
As of the change to allow for item probabilities that don't add up to 1000, it's become a little difficult to figure out the exact probabilities from the source code, which makes it hard to balance item generation. Adding a tool to list the probabilities helps. Part of the problem is that changing an item's probability without balancing it elsewhere is usually wrong: doing that would in effect take the probability equally from (or add the probability equally to) all other items in the class, which might break the balancing of those items due to the probability change. As such, it is usually better to make an intentional decision about which items should be less and which items should be more likely to generate, then change them in a balancing way (meaning that the probabilities of objects that weren't intentionally changed remain unchanged). Doing a complex such change makes arithmetic errors fairly likely, though, so it's useful to have a command that verifies that it's been done correctly. This command is primarily intended as a development aid, so it's included only in debug builds and pre-release builds (the same as other similar commands like #wizmondiff).
