Allow cancelling personal housing lottery bid - here's why

[free_magick]

It would be really nice to be able to cancel any housing bid, personal or FC, within the first 24 hours of it being placed and get a full refund of the deposit. That gives time for people to discussed the plot location, realize they've made a mistake and correct it, or to counter a malicious attempt to mess with an FC's housing location.

They could even issue you a certificate for the amount that can be placed on another bid during the housing period, and then you could wait out the lottery for the refund.

Unfortunately it'd just be abused. Though I think it wouldn't be such a bad thing to allow a bid to be retracted within the first half hour to an hour after placing it. Just for the folks who steamroll through all the warnings and accidentally bid on an FC house when they mean to bid on personal and vice versa.
