Server
- Adjust full healing message

- Move clearing of FLAG_NO_SKILL_IDENT back to identify() Clearing FLAG_NO_SKILL_IDENT in object_give_identified_properties() would cause books to mark as not read when the book was saved out and reloaded

- Add references to bind command inside the pickup command help file, also includes white space layout changes
- Add references to bind command inside the take command help file, also includes white space layout changes

- Add additional face number check
