[computer-go] GTPv3

[Łukasz Lew]

I also have a strong feelings about variables.
I believe there should be standard GTP command, "var" seems to be a good name,
that would write list of variables (with types?)
var var_x would print value of var_x
var var_x value would set the value.

What do You think?
