This change excludes locked locations and their regions from being hinted by important checks, e.g. Thieves' Hideout in "standard" settings. The hint area would still be included with shuffled crates for instance.

Edit: This now also excludes pre-completed dungeons from being hinted as well

Code would produce an error if the distribution required more hints than available regions. Recent commit allows a different hint type to be used if available. Also removed a pointless check for location.locked when we already check that when building the top_locations list
