Subject: allow sneak+dig to remove the protector (#2)

without removing the area protection it created.

In both cases, sneak+dig incurs a deliberate cost, in an effort to
prevent a griefer using one protector to go around protecting stuff at
random.

* In creative mode, one protector is deducted from the player's inventory.
* In survival mode, the protector is not returned, and is replaced with 6
  steel ingots, unless there's no room for the ingots, then it just
  behaves as if sneak was not pressed and throws a warning.
