HelloTopic class | actor.t[3283]

A greeting topic - this handles a HELLO or TALK TO command, as well as implied greetings (the kind of greeting generated when we jump directly into a conversation with an actor that uses stateful conversations, by typing a command like ASK ABOUT or TELL ABOUT without first saying HELLO explicitly).
