Hickup in rankings

That happens once every a few years ;( Maybe LiteRumble should have some check to prevent removing more than 100 bots at a time? Anyway LiteRumble *is* smart enough to recover with only 2000+ battles (1000+ to add back, 1000+ again to fix pairings), instead of 1000000 battles.
However a bug in the rumble client actually prioritized already existing bots over bots without ranking, except in the clean run case. So it actually takes much more battles to add missing bots back ;(
I submitted a PR for this bug. https://github.com/robo-code/robocode/pull/61.
Bots without rank should always take highest priority, in all scenarios.
