Story 77 task 7 - update xml files at runtime
Task: [S] Adjust race XML so that you can modify the number of boats in a race.
When clients connect they are added to the participant list, and an updated race.xml is sent out.
When they disconnect/timeout, they are unassigned a boat and updated race.xml is sent out.
Also contains code for sending updated boats.xml and regatta.xml.

```
Note: the boat should be permanently circled with a highlight (or something similar)
See: (http://learn.canterbury.ac.nz/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=213948). Contains boat request to join, and server response messages.
Acceptance criteria:
- The boat that responds to control keypresses is permanently highlighted on screen.
- No boat without a highlight responds to keypresses.
```
Works with either single player or multiplayer game (see HostController.hostGamePressed()).
The race.xml currently is not updated when players join/quit, so there are 6 boats by default, and any boats without playes will just sail off the side of the map.

- Figured out the different situations that can occur using accurate points of sail
- Mathed out the rotation angle for each situation
- Manual testing carried out by running simulations
- Manual testing carried out using pen and paper

- Implemented drawSails method
- Sail position is displayed and updated using a boat's heading
- Sails conform to 'Points of sail'
- Javadoc'd new method and tidied up existing
- Sped up track point frequency (visualiserBoat class)
- Optimised imports (any other classes changed)
- A lot of canvas drawing and sail rotating issues were discovered and eventually overcome along the way. Using a sail image to draw and rotate on the existing canvas rather than a JavaFX shape on a new canvas was the final decision.
