New entry/exit archetypes that use a stack in the player --- the
"entry" stores where it came from, the "exit" leads back to the
location on the top of the stack.

Possibly let the "entry" override the default (it's own location) with
another map name and/or position.

The stack is cleared when the player dies or casts an successful word
of recall.
