Details:

There's various mechanism that looks like it's intended to allow the setting
"fogofwar" to be changed mid-game, but it cannot be so changed; notably, the
latched variable game.server.fogofwar_old.

"fogofwar" was SSET_RULES_FLEXIBLE on S2_0, but SSET_RULES on S2_1. This was
changed in r11576
<http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/freeciv?revision=11576&view=revision> in 2006,
apparently because changing it on the fly was buggy. (Perhaps it was
originally changeable so that people could turn FoW on after loading a
savegame older than FoW implementation?)

It could be retired to make the vision code a bit simpler.
