Increase the scroll history of the message console

Is there any way to increase the amount you can scroll up on the F1 message console? It gets filled up with "adding trigger" spam and I can't get to the debug messages I want to see.

The history length is hardcoded in C++; but the better fix here is probably to take out some of the unnecessary console spam. Commenting out triggered_attacks.lua:124 is probably the way to go here.

(Also, to figure out where message spam is coming from, you can flip the 'console_debug' or 'print_debug' bools in print.lua -- that will let you trace back to the source file/line responsible for any output that appears in the F1 console.)

Thanks, for some reason I wasn't able to find the source of those prints by searching strings, and thought they might have been coming from C++.
