'G'rab grabs furniture if vehicle is not present, for a friendlier oh-shit-monsters-block-the-door UI experience.

After 'G'rab grabs a qualified furniture, it can be moved until pushed out of the way or let go of. Similar to cart grabbing, moving towards the furniture pushes it and the player forward a tile, and away pulls it and the player backwards a tile. Unlike cart grabbing, this is:

• Much more noisy and expensive, timewise
• Unless pushing or pulling, directional keys move the -furniture- while the player stays still, just like in the construction menu.
• Grab releases if the furniture is moved a tile away from the player (ie, furniture is North East and player pushes North);

Hrm, well this was part of a local branch that got merged before I could push. Out of context, but null check = good.

Awesome! One nit, the thing holding me up when I did vehicle grabs was the fact that furniture accumulates (and potentially destroys? there's an issue that indicates it can) items that you move it over, since items aren't actually tied to the furniture itself, so contents just move with the furniture unconditionally.
The only sensible thing I could come up with other than making furniture actually contain the items (not a TERRIBLE idea, but will require a lot of changes I think) or tag items as "contained in furniture" (also not the worst thing ever, but messy) is to have it displace any items on the square it's moving into, preferring forward, then to the sides, and as a final resort to the rear, since that's guaranteed to be available since the furniture was just there.
Also feel free to nuke the "move furniture" construction task, it's a terrible hack and I'm ashamed of it :P

This (#3188) was partially (or totally) my fault; construction move used add_items, not add_items_or_charges as a player initiated action. Fixed. With extra fixage. As before, moving furniture hoovers up items, unlike before, only if it's a container (items will block moving beds, or spill from them), and no silent destruction on failure.)

Can change hoovering to have items always block for all furniture if that's better. Shove aside instead of block requires more sleep

FYI I'm not sitting on this waiting for additional improvements, I've just been extraordinarily short on time recently.
