Details:
Currently, when picking a civil war nation, no attempt is made to avoid
nations which conflict with a nation in the game -- ignore_conflicts is set in
pick_a_nation().
This means that the game can end up with nations with gratuitously clashing
flags (e.g. Scottish and Scottish Gaelic).
It would be better if it at least tried to avoid conflicting nations first,
and only used them if unavoidable.
This patch unsets ignore_conflicts in this case (split_player()), and in
addition, changes pick_a_nation so that if it falls back to conflicting
nations, it revisits any supplied choice list. So in descending order of
preference we pick:
* a non-conflicting nation from the civilwar list
* a random non-conflicting nation
* a conflicting nation from the civilwar list
* a random conflicting nation
(This change in behaviour of pick_a_nation() can't affect anything else, as it
only makes a difference when a choice list is supplied, which only happens in
civil war, which can't ever reach this bit of code before this patch.)
