pickup_types documentation

Browse Source 
Another one from several years ago.  Document 'pickup_types:.'
as a way to set pickup_types to a value that won't ever cause
anything to be picked up, in order to leave all autopickup
decisions to player's autopickup exceptions.

Actually implementing pickup_types:none would require just as
much documentation plus extra code.
