* Fixing bugs for external dwelling bonus of Golem Factory.
[Problem]
The occupied Golem Factory on adventure map doesn't give
the player corresponding weekly growth bonus.
[Solution]
1. Add the dwelling (of multiple generators) to a player's dewelling set.
2. Created helper function to calculate external dwelling bonus
points.
[Test]
Manual testing on the map, works fine.

Bonus * -> std::shared_ptr<Bonus>
This cures the following problems:
1) Memory corruption at exit. Some Bonus-es were deleted twice (mods?).
2) Memory leaks. Some Bonuses were not deleted.
3) Reduce the number of "Orphaned child" messages.
Valgrind reports 0 leaked memory now and no invalid reads/writes.
Now server-side code should always use CRandomGenerator::getDefault which is serialized in GH.
CGameState::getRandomGenerator should be only used from GS code and CPackForClient-based applyGs.
That wouldn't be as big issue if problem affected few files, but it everywhere in codebase.
Fixed it everywhere since in most files that is the only code with wrong indentation.
