Subject: [PATCH] Default saved variables with 'or {}' instead of overwriting

Seed the SavedVariables globals only when absent (X = X or {}) rather
than unconditionally assigning {}. Behaviorally identical under the
current load order -- a returning character's data is restored over these
between file load and ADDON_LOADED -- but expresses intent as a default
and won't clobber data if that timing ever changed.
