More intelligent starting kit for birth_no_recall characters

Description
Currently, a character that starts with the birth_no_recall and birth_start_kit options will start with a useless scroll of Word of Recall... which value is substracted from its initial gold pool.
Usually, when playing a no_recall character (and even more when playing an ironman character), you want to start with the most useful items you can get from the town: supplies, books for spellcasters... So every penny you can get at start counts.
My idea: remove any unnecessary item at birth for no_recall characters and replace them with a boost in starting gold.
How to implement it:
- in p_class.txt, add a boolean flag at the end of each 'E' line with a value of 1 if the item is to be given at birth to no_recall characters, 0 otherwise
- add a boolean flag in struct start_item
- set the flag to its value from p_class.txt in parse_c_e
- only generate the item if the flag is 1 in player_outfit
- (optional) give more gold to no_recall characters at birth
For p_class.txt, I'd keep the starting food, torches, weapon and book:
